Pros

-Career advancement opportunity as it is not difficult to move around the company to experience different roles -Very technology driven, for many technologies Applied is the top player in the competition so there is a lot of great opportunities to learn -Many brilliant people work here so you can grow and learn from others

Cons

-Depending on which business unit you are in, (if good business, then the role becomes demanding, if bad business, then there are greater chances of reorg and less job stability), you could end up having no time for personal life, but this is great for workaholics who focus on career development -The poor work-life balance is more tailored to the nature of process engineer roles, where tool availability is unpredictable and you need to be more flexible to get things done.

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.
