Pros

Very friendly environment! Ample room to move up! Very fair salary! Applied is a very well rounded company that truly cares about it's employees. It is difficult to describe, but it has the benefits of being a large company, while maintaining the caring, close-knit feel of a small company. PLEASE, please believe me that this is a wonderful place to work. I know that I'm not going anywhere any time soon. I've found my place of work.

Cons

There are not very many cons that I can think of. You will need to have SOME knowledge in your area of hiring, but that is applicable to most jobs, so it's not really something that should be counted against Applied. Even if you have no knowledge or experience, however, they walk you through everything and train you slowly until you are ready. You will never be throw into the deep end. They teach you to swim long before you are given access to the pool.

Pros

Being a software development company, development cycles can be tough, but everyone takes responsibility, everyone helps everyone else, they care about each other, and care about the end results. Lots of potential for growth as an employee. There is movement across divisions, so someone from Support may move to Education, someone from Education may move to Implementation, etc.

Cons

Development cycles can be tough, so there can be a lot of pressure to perform and to meet deadlines.

Pros

- Currently in growth mode and actively hiring in most departments. - Upper management have done a great job the past 3 years with growing the company and offering additional benefits, such as your birthday off and company events. - Acquisitions have created opportunities for new products and integrations. This offers employees additional career opportunities. - Excellent work/life balance. - Job security for employees that can do what they are hired to do.

Cons

- Compensation is not as high as other companies. That being said, if you are offered a position, don't settle just to get in the door. Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. - Cross team and departmental communication can be difficult at times.
