      Pros

      The benefits are good, the people are really nice, the work is interesting

      Cons

      Very slow career progression, a lot of managers are working managers meaning they are mostly ICs, but then also manage so the management always falls to the wayside. Leadership decisions do not always make sense and are not well explained. Additionally after 4 years of remote work with continuous record quarters, they are implementing a full RTO without any real explaination or consideration for hybrid exceptions.

      Pros

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

      Cons

      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.
