Vantaggi

Good oportunities for growth Pay and benefits were pretty good Good intentions to divesify into solar and solidify lead in semi Great opportunity to change the game in semis with a focus on service (but don't thnk they will execute)

Svantaggi

Lots of bureaucracy make it diffuclt to really get things done CFO is very powerful in the company, almost seems to be running it like a PE-owned biz Senior execs (corporate VP and above) have good risk-taking appetite, but mid-level management (MD to VP level) are not very business savvy and can not think through issues enough to take risk Disfucntional decision making (e.g. formal meetings where decisions are not made and then real decisions are made 1:1 where the real experts are not there to opine Stock not moving in 10+ years, CEO making +$10M/yr, other C-levels making $5M/yr -- where is accountability???

Vantaggi

This is a company with a great future and overall many smart and talented work colleagues.

Svantaggi

There are pockets of poorly managed teams and the Global Sourcing and Procurement Team is one of them. Working for GSP was a soul crushing experience. On a regular basis, I witnessed and experienced mobbing, gaslighting, bullying, senior leaders retaliating and weaponizing the 360 feedback program for their own personal gain, senior leaders taking credit for other peoples work, long tenured leaders abusing their relationships within HR, regular staff crying and people admitting to seeking professional help due to the toxic work environment…ptsd in GSP is real. And to top it off, Applied’s most senior leadership have known of these issues for years.
