Applied Systems reviews

I’ve only been with Applied for six months now, so maybe my review is biased with a bit of honeymoonitis. But I’ve also worked at several companies and see a positive difference here. For starters, there are some reviews stating that pay here is low. But I think management gets that this stigma exists and has worked hard to address it. They understand that they need to be competitive with compensation in order to gain and maintain good folks. I actually make more at Applied than I did at a similar position in downtown Chicago. No complaints here on that front. Their efforts to keep good people shows. I really enjoy my coworkers! The work environment is very positive and focused on continuous improvement as we knock out our work. Sure, there’s times when we have a problem with a product or new methods needing some ironing out. But the people here come together to create solutions in a fun and engaging manner. I’ve been very impressed with the transparency and openness of senior management too. They work hard to keep everyone in the loop, engaged in our growth and defining a fun and open culture. They are constantly giving back to staff allowing us to share in our success. These things make contributing here fun. I get excited to come to work and jump in. There’s a clearer vision about where this company is heading than others. I feel like I know how to lend a hand and enjoy helping those around me.
