Applied Medical reviews

Very sketchy management. Did not trust anyone! Told I was hired at a certain base salary then my new hire paperwork arrived and stated 10K less in base. "Take it or leave it," they said. Had already given notice so couldn't leave it. Lesson learned. Also, I believe mgmt is waiting for the company to be bought so they can cash in their stock and retire. Lastly, 3 week training program is a bit over the top. Militant trainers with creepy color contacts.

The company is not the same place it used to be. There has been a mass exodus of engineers. Engineering teams are half the size they used to be only a couple years back. The company has been expanding its real estate footprint but not investing in having enough engineers to sustainably maintain the expansion. There’s almost no hiring and when an occasional person is hired, you can tell they were fished out from the bottom of the barrel. With CEO approaching retirement age, there are rumors that the company will be sold, which might explain why Applied is not investing in the workers. The company is saving millions by not hiring to replace all the engineers who have left the past 2years! Latest company update is that we’ve been selling record number of devices and we’ve got tail winds blowing in our favor and yet, we still don’t get bonuses. Raises have been capped at 6% (they try to not give you the full 6%). CEO said they did a lot to help workers through inflation but the only thing they did was not lay people off despite the company currently going through a good period. Morale is low amongst engineers. It used to be that despite low pay, the work environment was great. This is no longer true. Come work at Applied as an engineer only if you have no other options.
