Pros
The best part about working at Applied was the opportunity and the team members that I worked with.
Cons
I was at Applied for over 5 years. The cons about Applied gets worse and worse after the 1st two years. Senior Management in Process, Production and R&D should be replaced. They are reactive when it comes to retention and talent management, which became more obvious in the last two years. They are short sighted in their strategic vision and have only managed to stay in power because the people within their hierarchy have been skilled enough to hit major milestones. Their luck is running out because a lot of key team members have already left and more are definitely following. From a budget perspective, they have the capital to make a change if they wanted to, but they truly believe that the starting pay for an E1 in Orange County, let alone RSM, should be $65,000. HILARIOUS. This company can't keep up with demand or is barely, and the development of new Products is far far behind. Good luck.
