Pros

- Good pay - OK benefits - Open to change

Cons

- The company conducted redundancies earlier this year and it was dealt with terribly. The company was not struggling financially, but that was the reason given as to why redundancies were being done. - The redundancy announcement coincided with them sending out Applied t-shirts with the word "Indispensable" on them. Bad timing, but an insincere apology was issued over a month later. Essentially, a gap between reality and what the upper management thought was ok/acceptable behaviour. - During the redundancy period, the leadership team went on a trip, as well as the sales people. Many people found this to be bad taste. - The roles that were made redundant were only in the development department, as a software company this doesn't make much sense. Many think that most of the work will eventually go back to the USA. - The leadership team is very separate to the rest of the workers. Many people on the mid-level are not keen on the UK CEO.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
