Pros
The people are amazing at Applied. From leadership to entry level engineers, everyone is not only nice, but just gets it. Lot of positive, collaborative, and helpful people. I have been with the company for 5 years and seen a lot of change in those five years as the company has adapted to changing markets and technology. We got a new/old President in 2017, and business has been trending up ever since. I feel that we lacked a strong leader for awhile, but having Steve Grimm in place, working with our VP of Engineering so closely, the two make an awesome team, and Applied is a better place than ever to come and grow your career. There is also great work life balance available with many positions having at least some opportunity to work from home.
Cons
Since our workers are spread out all the time (engineers out on location, sales out selling), we could do better at getting everyone together more often for team building type activities. Partying at the Annual Company Christmas party is always fun... now we just need more of that!
