Applied Intuition

Pockets of great people that make the environment bearable. Used to be a great place for new grads to transition into the startup world. If you can make it in this culture, everywhere else will feel like a breeze.

Applied officially plateaued and is increasingly shaped by internal politics rather than the execution and culture that drove its early growth. This culture shift is reflected in the significant departure of early, tenured employees and with the joining of new leadership who come from stale, established companies.

Be cautious about claims made during the recruiting process, as there's often a massive gap between what's presented in interviews and the actual day to day. This has caused many disgruntled new hires that leave in less than 90 days.

The politics and bureaucracy are not only insufferable, but make it almost impossible to move quickly and efficiently in your job function. The culture has become the antithesis of what the value prop of the company used to be.

Stop submitting overtly fake, generic positive reviews that don't reflect reality. The same issues have been raised repeatedly; get to the heart of why that is.

Understand that we became a kiss up, kick down culture. Spend more time with your ICs to find out what is going on, and not what your chosen few tell you.

Stop attacking and bad-mouthing other companies and ex-employees who leave the company, which is beyond distasteful and reflects poorly on Applied more than anything.
