Pros

Fine place to start out of college. Stay for max of 1-2 years. Low to no work at times so you can just take unofficial time off.

Cons

Low pay. Convoluted, archaic business practices. Upper management cares only about bottom line. For a company that prides themselves on change they do NOT change process and will not listen to advice on how to do so. While they’ve never done a “lay off”, they force people to resign by only offering 5% raises for title changes and inflation.

Pros

Clean environment to work in

Cons

Don't believe all these fake reviews. They pay lower than most people and employers in the industry. They give people low ball offers. This is the only company I ever worked for that forced you to sign a document saying in lieu of getting your bonus you agree that you haven't been discriminated against, forced to work overtime without pay, etc.. that's the jist of the wording on the form. They've got managers who aren't interested in your development and are willing to throw people under the bus to save themselves. Lots of people who pretend to befriend you but are trying to get you in trouble. There is definitely nepotism and favoritism. If you're not in don't even bother trying to stay. Try to stay away from this place as much as possible and find better opportunities elsewhere. Lots of dog an pony shows and wasteful spending for marketing and buying buildings left and right but they can't give you a 4% raise. They'll keep on milking you but don't expect to get compensated properly. Other places I've worked at had way better work time flexibility over here they grill you for 5 minutes after 8. Other departments were more flexible with this.

Pros

Lets you get years of experience, other companies may require.

Cons

The company is horrible, they treat it like a CULT and feed everyone misinformation about the rest of the industry while claiming to be the most virtuous company in the world. They claim not to do anything the other companies do, like buying lunches to get surgeons to use their products, instead they buy them a plane ticket to California a night or two in a hotel and all the food to go along with it. They flat out copy other companies designs for medical devices, because all this money they invest in R&D is not to research clinical needs and ways to meet them and create devices to improve patients and procedures, rather to research how to manufacture it only. They don't spend the money needed on the devices, rather copy and push it out as soon as possible with as little testing as possible. The research that is done at this company could be completed better by a 9th grade student, as they understand what the scientific method is. This is something Applied has forgotten completely! If you want to loose all your passion for helping people, improving healthcare, improving the world we live in, then maybe this is a place for you. But if you want to really make a difference, apply somewhere else! save yourself
