Pros

- got exposed early to AI workflows

Cons

- Micromanagement: they hire senior engineers and don’t trust them to do the job. Instead, you spend most of your time trying to clean up documentation and slides to impress customers. - They use the profiles of employees that worked at Deep tech or prominent companies before to lure customers and eventually they’re not execution heavy. - Reviews: they do monthly reviews. Your review can go from excellent with a star to lacking and probably on the way to get fired in 3 weeks because maybe a delivery went wrong and you’re just part of a broader team. Or because a senior manager didn’t like you for whatever reason - Some managers are so arrogant and disrespectful people. They demean the engineers and keep pushing them as if they’re gonna motivate them to work. I was told from a senior manager, lead people by fear!! - Work is intense, you don’t even get a thank you for the hours, but rather, “if you did a better job, we wouldn’t be here”. The management tries to find an escape goat to blame - I worked for a year and never less than 60-70 hours a day with zero appreciation. - Career ladder is a joke: managers get promoted and again demoted in 6 months. I have witnessed many demotions in one year, like never in any company I worked for before and I worked for 6 companies before Applied. - The equity is not real. Don’t make them dazzle you with the fake numbers - Advice: go to LinkedIn, look for their employees and check the tenure. The majority of the folks are around for less than a year or a couple of months. - Products: I don’t know what they’re doing. They’re engaging with many companies and don’t have a roadmap for production. - Very bad culture; people don’t like working here and are drained. I barely stopped somewhere to have a short talk with someone. Everybody wants to leave. Talked to many engineers and managers. They just are there coz they don’t yet have an alternative

Pros

- Excellent business development strategy. Constant new customers and projects for engineers. If you wanted to run your own startup one day, you could do a lot worse than learn from Applied's strategies. - Fast-pace, challenging work for engineers. Very little abstraction means you touch most parts of the projects you work on. Good learning experiences. - Talented group of engineers to work with (see con about lack of seniority). - No-nonsense culture (at least at the start, see cons).

Cons

- Company has never learned to plan in my years here. Constantly making the mistake of compensating for lack of planning with crunching engineers. Attrition numbers tell the story. - Chasing best available business opportunities has led to its current success. It also means lack of focus and concerningly immature products given their age. - Shockingly does not grow comp with elevation to leadership positions. Lowballs new hires, then expects the existing equity to be enough reason to take on drastically more responsibility and give up technical work. - Great no-bullshit culture (drop BS meetings; technical need leads the way, not politics; avoid partisan politics at work, etc.) is degrading from the top. - New-grad heavy teams. Dearth of senior people to learn from is concerning. Good reason for new grads to move on quickly, or risk building bad habits. - Constantly uses valuation success in funding rounds to justify stunting comp growth. After 1-2 years you understand a truth: the company might be succeeding, but what does that have to do with you? - At some point, you learn enough from the firefighting. But the firefighting does not stop.
