Pros

Work hours are fairly rigid, so there is not expectation to work longer than an 8 hour day. There are very little expectations of the employees. Once you are hired all you have to do is show up on time, be nice, say "Team" repeatedly, and you will stay forever. Environment is fairly relaxed and the expected attire is jeans and a shirt.

Cons

All management (at all levels) have very little experience outside of Applied, so managers are managing team members that should be in the reverse positions. Moreover, the company seems to be operating as if the year was 1999. Emails are responded to in full and complete sentences with greetings and salutations. This is incredibly inefficient and negates any speed by which problems are addressed. Many female managers work part time and do not come in Fridays so the work week is technically 4 days long., and everyone knows it. There is absolutely no gratitude for those individuals who are driven and competent to perform. For those who can, more tasks are given, but for those who cannot less tasks are provided with equal pay. There is no correlation between capability, work quantity/quality, and seniority or pay. The mantra for the company is: head down, years of service, you will move up. The entire company, in particular Clinical Development, is completely averse to change (even if mandated through regulatory bodies). All team members would prefer to not do their work in full and get reprimanded by federal entities rather than do what is required in the first place.

Pros

Lots of opportunities for growth and exposure to all varieties of the medical device lifecycle. Vertical integration is truly special for this and you will become a better engineer at this company. Overall positive culture, I have a friendly relationship with my management and I've enjoyed working with virtually all my peers.

Cons

Pay is lower than market average and you will need to put in more than what you'll get. There is also ambiguity on the metrics management assesses team member growth for promotions or pay increases. Work/life balance can get rough particularly in R&D depending on the project.
