Pros: Work is pretty cool sometimes.

Cons: No AC and no air ventilation.

Pros: Growing business, smart engineers, and free food.

Cons: You will be evaluated every month—yes, every month! If you do not meet their expectations, you will be fired. This underscores the high performance standards and continuous assessment process in place, where there's a strong emphasis on consistently meeting objectives to retain your position. You will be asked to provide feedback frequently. However, if your feedback is particularly negative towards someone, especially your manager, you need to be cautious. When you start your job, you'll be assigned a "hero project." The purpose of this isn't just to get you started with your work but, more importantly, to test you. These projects often have vague definitions, but the expectation is clear: you need to prove yourself. The project duration spans several months, but you'll be required to provide weekly updates and outputs. If you fail to meet their expectations, you may be fired immediately. It's not uncommon for someone who was just welcomed to the team to silently disappear later on. But if you’ve worked at other well-known companies, you probably know you’re worth more than this.

Pros: I have learned more in my three years working at Applied than during any other time in my professional career. Employees are given the opportunities and room to grow and succeed alongside the company. This is a great place to work if you're looking for ownership and personal development.

Cons: A fast-paced environment can be stressful.
