Pros

Lots of teams and tech to chose from if you dont like where you ended up

Cons

OLD tech. Really REALLY old and not supporing innovation or changes. Lots of managers are promoted for the wrong reasons. Although they say they care about WLB, you will work MUCH more compared to other places and its taken as granted by managment!

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.
