      Low Compensation; Efforts to Retain Talent Minimal at Best

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Recent college graduates experiencing difficulty in the job market would be well advised to submit an application for a position with this organization -- it can certainly lead to better opportunities.

      Cons

      Professionals with two or more years of experience are exceptionally under-compensated. Efforts to retain talent are minimal at best. Employees are hardly recognized for exceptional performance, even during annual reviews. Everyone must fight for raises and promotions, unless of course a personal friend holds a position in upper management in which case preferential treatment is imminent.

      Forward-looking software company

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      After working here for 8 years, with ownership by several equity companies and two CEOs, I definitely feel like this company is looking ahead. There have been strides toward internal transparency and expanding the portfolio to ensure future success. The CEO is quite frank about what he expects from us, and what we should expect from him and his management team. I feel much more engaged with senior management under this regime. There are opportunities in many different enterprise-level technologies, although those may not always be available to everyone... once you're entrenched on a team it can take quite a while before changes can happen. However, the flexibility overall is improving and while Applied continues to expand into new lateral fields in the insurance industry, the number of opportunities to be involved in something new is always increasing.

      Cons

      Compensation is really on the low side. When I received my first job offer it was 20% lower than my current salary. I quickly declined that offer but they countered with a more reasonable offer - still I got the feeling that low-balling salaries unless you pushed back was the M.O. (at least under the previous owner/management). Things seem to have improved since then but that's mostly hearsay. Vacation is also on the light side. You only get 2 weeks until you've been here for 5 years, then you go to 3 weeks. I was getting 25 days off at my previous job (6-year tenure) so that was a difficult adjustment. You can only roll over 1 week so it's difficult to build up a decent amount of time off for an extended trip.

      Very happy working at Applied Systems

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Lots of room for advancement for those who want to go that route - Good people to work with - Flexible shifts

      Cons

      As others have mentioned on here we are constantly hearing about how well the company is doing and how we will be a $400 million by 2017 but the raises do not reflect the growth as seen by the company. Other than that one con I am quite happy at Applied.
