Pros

I still could not find anyone. The only thing I found it useful for was the development of my English (a very expensive English course).

Cons

No development offered to the employees, they simply want you to do the (simply and idiotic) work and this is it. It is maybe a good place for people who are close to the retirement age, but if you are young and willing to learn simply forget it. Also the ghost of the customer closing or reducing contract and therefore of you getting fired is always there.

Pros

This is a company with a great future and overall many smart and talented work colleagues.

Cons

There are pockets of poorly managed teams and the Global Sourcing and Procurement Team is one of them. Working for GSP was a soul crushing experience. On a regular basis, I witnessed and experienced mobbing, gaslighting, bullying, senior leaders retaliating and weaponizing the 360 feedback program for their own personal gain, senior leaders taking credit for other peoples work, long tenured leaders abusing their relationships within HR, regular staff crying and people admitting to seeking professional help due to the toxic work environment…ptsd in GSP is real. And to top it off, Applied’s most senior leadership have known of these issues for years.
