Pros

Good colleagues and team. Good learning opportunity as a stepping stone

Cons

- Company CEO removed hybrid work suddenly, not even allowing 1 day WFH. Ignoring employee well-being and inclusion. - says that company still offer great flexibility for those who can WFH. But if the company policy is 100% onsite, will mgrs even allow WFH? A big NO. - company future way of work is hotdesking but requires 100% onsite? How is this possible? Clearly, ignornant about where everyone’s gonna sit. Throwing everyone to fight and scramble for a seat. How is this a good company culture and conducive environment? - Higher management not listening to the voices on ground. Having hybrid work is the greatest flexibility applied can provide. - politics between cross functional team. - management always going back on their words and directives (eg. implementing WFH hybrid but decided to take back, stating project deadline but decided to expedite for sooner closure)

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.
