Pros
Working here means you’re right in the middle of the autonomous vehicle revolution. The projects are next-level, and you get to play with some seriously cool tech that’s shaping the future. The people at Applied are sharp, motivated, and down-to-earth. There’s a strong vibe of teamwork and sharing knowledge, which makes it a great place to learn and grow. The leadership is approachable. They’re really focused on making sure the team is happy and the company is headed in the right direction. If you’re hungry to learn and take on new challenges, this is the place. Plenty of opportunities to level up your skills or take on more responsibility.
Cons
Every now and then, you come across an engineer who’s never had a “real” job (e.g. only FAANgs and entitled tech companies) and complains about trivial things, like the amount of free food, despite the company making a solid effort to accommodate everyone. It’s rare, but when it happens, it’s frustrating. These people would probably be happier elsewhere, taking control of their own happiness instead of wasting everyone else’s time with their entitled attitudes.
