A relatively non-stressful development environment good for beginning a career in technology

Business Outlook

Pros

+ Industry leader + The company is growing, so plenty of room for personal career growth + Surprisingly talented development teams (for the most part) considering geographical location + Willing to hire out of school + Agile development philosophy + Fairly relaxed for a development environment + Good benefits package + Work from home once per week

Cons

- Not everyone you're working for/with/under values your opinion - Development salaries are well below the norm - Starting tester and starting programmer salaries are pretty much equal - Salary growth is minimal for most, developers will likely never make a tech industry standard - No effort to balance existing employee salaries when raising starting salary - Flagship products lack early direction, forcing reactive development effort - Working with a team that cares can be hit or miss - Management/HR is slow to react to under-performing employees

Pros

The schedule is M-F, no nights past 7pm and no weekends. They have a cafeteria in house. Encourage you to apply for other positions within the company. Extensive training for your position. Some departments are able to work from home in times of bad weather and other reasons. Insurance starts the day you start!!! Coming from a retail background, these are a few of the things that were important to me.

Cons

The pay could be a little better. It wasn't as bad as I feared but, it is also was not as good as I expected.

Pros

I love the company culture and the core values the company has in place. Tremendous growth and opportunities in the future, looking forward to seeing what happens over the next few years. Two things I appreciate are the "My Applied Events" and the great work/life balance here - just additional incentives to the compensation - definitely keeps me going and a happy employee. I feel comfortable here and have had really great training and mentors, who not only encourage me to learn more about my role, but about the industry, and the technology as well. Couldn't be happier!

Cons

I think the company as a whole would benefit from having opportunities to learn more about what each department does, how they connect, how they are important, and how much they need each other. It would help new employees learn the company better, and just build a stronger Team Applied.
