Pluspunten

I joined as a new grad looking for a good opportunity to grow, and I've definitely managed to get and then some. I remember being a bit surprised my first few weeks by the intensity and the pace. I was immediately put in a position of high trust and visibility, relied upon on Day 1 even though I truly new nothing. It was an adjustment, but once I was able to internalize that culture, I've been been continuously empowered to challenge myself and take on bigger and bigger projects where I would not have been able to elsewhere at this point in my career. I've also been able to grow my career across different axes. Even as a software engineer, I was able to build the muscle of a product manager and dictating the product vision of the team. I would go work directly with our customers, going out to the different offices across the world whenever it was applicable. Those trips have also been some of the most memorable personal experiences I've had as well :') All in all, it’s been an amazing place to kick off my career. Talking to my friends in tech, I realize that the pace is intense, but the growth, ownership, and exposure you get early on are unmatched. I've been consistently inspired by the people around me to keep improving. I would recommend working here if those aspects sound interesting to you.

Minpunten

You'll be spending a lot of time working. Imo you get out more than you put in, but you are expected to put in a lot of time as well. Feedback could be delivered more tactfully and quickly. Different verticals of the company feel disjointed. I get to know the people immediately around me well, but across the larger org it's more siloed.

Pluspunten

Really interesting challenges, huge growth potential and ambition all over. In my experience management wants you to succeed so they try to recognize what you are good at and push you to do that even if it's not in the team you were originally assigned.

Minpunten

The time demanded of engineers tends to be very high and things tend to feel reactive because planning happens mostly on the short term. The culture makes some people want to stay in the office longer than they should

Pluspunten

- 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).

Minpunten

- 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.
