Pros

Good company benefits. Attractive salary for CSS group people. Flexible work style. Good culture.

Cons

If you are hired for AGS **B300 group, then it will be worst in your career life. You should nod your head to whatever Manager says even though its stupid. No proper planning and firing you like a rocket one day before deadline. You won't feel that you are in a team. If you ask Manager for any help regarding the product, he himself don't know completely.

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.
