Pros

Dynamic and interesting industry. Generally good people to work with especially at mid and lower levels. Decent job security.

Cons

With "Flexible Time Off" coworkers don't take time off which dis-incentivizes others from doing so. They took away hybrid work schedule w/ no real justification. Come to find out that upper management didn't trust us to work from home, so instead they forced us into cubicles 5 days a week...

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.
