Pros

Time off policy is flexible. Some years there is a full company shut down the week of Christmas, which allows one to see their family over the holidays in the US. HR takes harassment very seriously and wants to ensure the safety of their employees.

Cons

As a young female engineer, I have experienced and witnessed multiple instances of sexual harassment and sexist comments. In addition, Applied does not always prioritize keeping their current employees, and oftentimes the best way to get promoted and fairly compensated is to go to another company and then try to get rehired at Applied. Furthermore, they primarily require everyone to be in office full time even if someone's job could be done completely remote. Some employees can request exemptions to this, but it is unclear what would constitute an approval for remote or hybrid work.
