Applied Intuition

Most colleagues are hardworking, humble, and helpful people. They make the extremely bad WLB, low pay, brainwash style company culture slightly better.

Incompetent and inconsistent middle management. They recently hired some experienced manager that are great, but there are certain managers with extremely high attrition. I’ve observed whole team of engineers leaving in under a year due to bad management, and they’ve done nothing to improve. To avoid having to work with bad managers, please make sure you ask:

1. “Are there any engineers that have worked on your team for more than 1 year? I would like to talk to them.”
2. Check their LinkedIn, if they’ve never been a manager before Applied and their team has high attrition, they are most likely a bad manager.

This company has grown to include all the bad things from corporate culture and exclude all the good things about working at a startup. Engineers are getting worked like slaves, with way below average pay, and slim equity. Middle management has serious issues, and company is not addressing them, further losing engineer trust
