Pros

Less people. So you can work peacefully. Cab facility Insurance Initial pay is good. Good for beginners Opportunity to travel

Cons

Everything is too slow. Laid back people and management. No one gives clear picture of anything. Cannot grow quickly. Hard work is not visible. Work is too monotonous and feel like help desk job. Just supporting US and other regions when needed. So overall all u’ll be doing backend jobs. Not a great place to learn more or grow. Initially they show high pay scale while hiring and then u will remain stagnant. Bonus is not given and they will rate you bad even when you have worked hard. Which you don’t deserve. Management strategy is bad and not clear. Indians are given only support projects. You will get few opportunities to travel, but that is of no good to you. Also, not very great for women.

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.
