Pros

Nice new office in the Rancho Bernardo area along with reasonably competitive salary and benefits. Very little else positive that I can say.

Cons

So many. At the root, management is mysterious, secretive and extremely paranoid. If you ask too many questions, try to get too creative, or behave at all curious about the business they become suspicious of you; almost as though there is something to hide. There is an eerie sense of fear among the staff. This all translates to the work environment so accurately described by several previous one-star reviews (strict hours, no talking or walking around among coworkers, totally silent work environment, etc.). It even seemed that bathroom breaks were frowned upon. There is a 3-month waiting period for benefit eligibility and just 2 weeks annual paid vacation. I would suspect few employees make it that far. Just WEIRD! Stay away!

Pros

Since working at Applications International, my life has changed tremendously. Financially Applications International has allowed me to be stable and growth in my personal life. For my career, I have become an IT Professional, expert in Environmental Health and Safety solutions and traveled to the Safety Trade-shows. Working here gives you the freedom and encouragement to learn and advance. Management doors are always open for any comments and new ideas. You only get out of what you put into life. If you want to succeed and be able to move up in your career, Applications International is a great opportunity.

Cons

Being a small company, means everyone plays a big part in your job. The work load may vary depending from week to week, but that is because we all work hard and produce/compete those of larger companies. We all work as a team and all want to continue to hold up our highly esteemed reputation in this industry, so we are all very much involved in each others tasks to make sure all that needs to be done is completed. I feel that some people might find that feel that is intimidating, and meant to 'call the other out' but it is only to keep up and manage out tasks.
