Pros

Working at Applied as a contractor provides great work experience. Even as a contractor you get some hands on experience with important processes.

Cons

Data is not freely shared with a contractor. Although you may be expected to work on a project, you are not included in on information about why a project is done as it is. Data is shared with you on a need to know basis only.

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.
