Vantaggi

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!)

Svantaggi

- Long-ish hours by tech standards: The workload isn't as bad as glassdoor would have you believe, but the standard is about 50hrs/week of work. I typically work 8:30-6:30ish and rarely work weekends. - Sometimes high pressure around deadlines - High expectations: if you're someone who wants to try 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 and coding (this is a good thing!).

Vantaggi

- Excellent business development strategy. Constant new customers and projects for engineers. If you wanted to run your own startup one day, you could do a lot worse than learn from Applied's strategies. - Fast-pace, challenging work for engineers. Very little abstraction means you touch most parts of the projects you work on. Good learning experiences. - Talented group of engineers to work with (see con about lack of seniority). - No-nonsense culture (at least at the start, see cons).

Svantaggi

- Company has never learned to plan in my years here. Constantly making the mistake of compensating for lack of planning with crunching engineers. Attrition numbers tell the story. - Chasing best available business opportunities has led to its current success. It also means lack of focus and concerningly immature products given their age. - Shockingly does not grow comp with elevation to leadership positions. Lowballs new hires, then expects the existing equity to be enough reason to take on drastically more responsibility and give up technical work. - Great no-bullshit culture (drop BS meetings; technical need leads the way, not politics; avoid partisan politics at work, etc.) is degrading from the top. - New-grad heavy teams. Dearth of senior people to learn from is concerning. Good reason for new grads to move on quickly, or risk building bad habits. - Constantly uses valuation success in funding rounds to justify stunting comp growth. After 1-2 years you understand a truth: the company might be succeeding, but what does that have to do with you? - At some point, you learn enough from the firefighting. But the firefighting does not stop.
