      A Dickensian sweatshop for our times - Anonymous employee Applied Systems Employee Review

      Pros

      Ample opportunities to work remote; remote worker setup is comprehensive and well thought out. Pay and benefits are decent for the industry. Good salary (but read on to decide whether it's worth it to you), prompt payment/direct deposit. Medical benefits effective on the first day of employment. 401k matching percentage was below average, with an outdated vesting schedule (most companies now offer 100% vested at the time of contribution). Many wonderful colleagues, and the line managers seem to care about their staff. On the whole, the clients were pleasant to work with, too.

      Cons

      Ridiculous workload/hours, fed by a mountain of needless paperwork. A glut of internal meetings, most of questionable value. Unrealistic utilization targets accompanied by continuous pressure to bill the clients for nearly every activity. Bullying and intimidation from the C-suite.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide your point of view on Applied. We always appreciate receiving both positive as well as constructive feedback. The positives you call out generally align well with what we hear from TeamApplied employees across the organization about our work environment . It is clear however that you had concerns with your localized work area as well as a perception very much inconsistent with the hard earned, positive reputation (internal and external) of our senior leadership team. Team Applied employees are encouraged to confidentially come forward if and when any such concerns develop- and even as a former employee, I would welcome your contacting me directly to discuss your experience while with us.

      Pros

      The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

      Cons

      The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
