Pros
Talented individuals on sales and technical teams. Sharp people that are good teammates and want to see the company do well, continue to grow and support their customers.
Cons
Turned into a really bad company to work for after the acquisition. Zero focus from Sr. Leadership on building and developing a culture of mutual growth and success. If one speaks out about this they are chastised for speaking up and will eventually be run out of the business. A company that once cared about their people now cares about nothing but increasing profitability so the private equity firm that's a majority owner can maximize their valuation and get their successful exit. Executive leadership decisions in the Americas that are being made are to the detriment of current employees as well as their own customers, many of which have stuck with the company for years. You'll notice when looking through reviews that those since March will typically be pretty negative. This isn't really Applied Software anymore, but Graitec USA and it's a really bad company to work for.
