Pros

Work life balance is good ... Flexible timing

Cons

You shall not join this company if you are a software engineer. It one of the best for Mechanical or Electirca Engineer Even if you want to join, then opt for CSS department as chances for onsite in more in that department In PDC, product are already developed. You will be adding few lines of codes here and there which you also will not know what it is meant for as most of the stuffs are related to hardware Technology wise you will get exposure to learn only Core Java and that also they have their own internal framework Lots of politics are involved within the organization.

Pros

This is a company with a great future and overall many smart and talented work colleagues.

Cons

There are pockets of poorly managed teams and the Global Sourcing and Procurement Team is one of them. Working for GSP was a soul crushing experience. On a regular basis, I witnessed and experienced mobbing, gaslighting, bullying, senior leaders retaliating and weaponizing the 360 feedback program for their own personal gain, senior leaders taking credit for other peoples work, long tenured leaders abusing their relationships within HR, regular staff crying and people admitting to seeking professional help due to the toxic work environment…ptsd in GSP is real. And to top it off, Applied’s most senior leadership have known of these issues for years.
