Pros

Flexible timing Not fired (yet)

Cons

Flexible timing = no start / end time, you end up spending way more time for work beyond the standard 8 hours Mandatory office attendance four days a week Single digit salary hikes Thinkers are not welcome Target keeps moving, re-orgs happen practically every quarter. Bears go into hibernation way less often. Performing consistently worse every year, no respite in sight

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.
