Pros

Great people to work with. A lot of folks have been there a long time. It is not unusual to have tenure of 15 to 20 years which is rare in software. These people are vested in the health of the company and have a lot of domain. There is a culture from the CEO down to "do the right thing" which is a main reason i have stayed with Applied over time

Cons

Base salary can be low but "on target earnings" at goal is commiserate with other software sales jobs. Especially as goals are attainable.

Pros

Despite Applied being a long distance from the loop, where most other cool software is created, it is a pretty amazing organization. It's the largest software provider in the Midwest and has a portfolio of products that represents most technologies being utilized these days. Amazing company success records, a really loyal customer base and a very genuine industry keep it cooking. The place is nearly 30 years old and has an incredible story. they have adopted agile, they have great senior leadership that makes good decisions and is changing the culture to be very relevant. I like working there and feel supported and like I have a lot of options, especially given their growth goals. Overall I would recommend this company - honest and growing and there are options here for some long term development.

Cons

There used to be a very traditional, conservative culture there. Lots of people work IN the office still, even in the departments where most other software companies invite their employees work from home. Management should recognize that as a global software company, people can live anywhere and work from anywhere, I think they are recognizing this, and now they have a ton of offices too so not everyone is in one place. The industry they serve is even more conservative with technology and so it's not the edgiest place to work - but that also means you can hit it out the park without too much innovation - just enough. It's getting interesting with international needs.
