Pros

I love programming. I program as a hobby outside of work. If this is you, you will probably like working at Applied.

  • The work is really cool with fun tech stacks across the company.
  • People are really nice! I genuinely like all of my coworkers a lot.
  • Extremely solid business.
  • People are hard-working and intelligent: in previous roles, I felt like if I wanted something done well, I felt like I had to do it myself. Here, I'm much more willing to trust other people with important work because the people here are actually good at their jobs.
  • It's not nearly as bad as the Glassdoor reviews make it out to be.
  • This company has an elite sales team, so the work you do actually gets used (and makes the company money!)
Cons
  • Long-ish hours by tech standards: The workload isn't as bad as Glassdoor would have you believe, but the standard is about 50 hours/week of work. I typically work 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and rarely work weekends.

  • Sometimes high pressure around deadlines.

  • High expectations: If you're someone who wants to write the minimum amount of code as a software engineer and then move into a no-code management role as soon as possible, this isn't the place for you. People here need to actually be good at coding (this is a good thing!).
