Pros: Applied has extremely talented and friendly engineers who are all highly driven by what they work on. It's great to be in person and get to learn and collaborate with such motivated and smart people. I've learned so much about the automotive industry and engineering practices.

Cons: Applied requires you to have or develop really good time management and prioritization skills. Since the business and the tech move so quickly, you can feel overwhelmed by the amount of work that you're trying to take on. You learn quickly that this doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be doing everything all the time, but rather that you have to be able to make quick prioritization decisions off the cuff and manage your own time.

Pros: - Strong and talented team across the board, from eng to marketing to design. - Experienced leadership, but humble and clearly open to throwing out broken processes. - In a growing industry with exciting challenges, a stellar product, and lots of customer demand. - Plenty of leadership opportunities, and a lot to learn in every part of the company.

Cons: - Hours can be tough during crunch time, but it is being fixed.

Pros: If you come and work here, you will work with lots of smart people. The company and the business are doing really well. The management is intentional about making changes for the long-term health of the business.

Cons: - If you are not able to regulate yourself, you will have a hard time adjusting to the pace. - The company is global, meaning that the bar is higher for quality of products and therefore output.
