Pros
Good Salary, they pay ypu well benefits are also good
Cons
Very political organization, ones work output is not related to ones opportunities for promotion. Lots of back stabbing going on in this organization. While I cannot comment on the hardware part of the organization, working in the software group was hell on earth. No freedom to be creative, lots of rules and regulations. This is now reflected in the quality of their software products, the talented software engineers are leaving, and customers are unhappy.. While I mention that salary is a Pro for this organization, Applied have a nasty habit of mis-treating people and forcing them out of the organization rather than pay them redundancy... If you are a software engineer looking for a job, avoid this organization...
