Pros

Unlimited overtime if you want it, when traveling Applied will put you in a suite with a rental car, decent per diem for meals when traveling.

Cons

Low to mid scale as far as industry pay goes. Horrible timekeeping application. Little to no support from manufacturing and R&D. Team cooperation is not something Applied values, and most Customer Engineers are forced to learn by trial and error as procedure creation is not encouraged or rewarded.

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.
