Pros

Good pay, great coworkers, and immediate supervisors

Cons

Over work their employees. Layoffs are common. You can't move into a higher roles unless you have tight personal connections (son of an Engineer there, etc.) They pride themselves on being the "most ethical" place to work while their workers are collapsing due to exhaustion. Maybe that is what most ethical means near Austin.

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.
