Pros

Flexible Good Perks Everything is good in good times when the market is growing

Cons

Very Unstable and lots of layoffs. No Vision at the top management. Strategies changes quiet often. Focused towards USA specially Austin is the centre of the world for them , rest of the world is just an add on. Very self centred and unopen employees, not willing to transfer knowledge for new people to learn.

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.
