Pros

I've been with Applied for 10+ years and it's a good place to work. Applied has a lot of great people, strong leadership, and a relaxed environment. Compensation is about on par with what you'd expect in this industry. Benefits are good, but slightly expensive. Opportunities for advancement or change in roles are there for those who work hard. Overall, my experience has been very positive.

Cons

The 401k matching policy of 25% and capped at 12% of salary is low and doesn't encourage staying with the company until retirement.

Pros

Great benefits, outstanding people. In a short time I met a lot of the development team and everyone is very friendly. Relaxed environment

Cons

Training was a bit rough, things weren't well documented. I believe pay to be a bit under industry average, but it isn't located in the middle of chicago, and the benefits do carry some value
