Pros
This summer will mark 10 yrs for me at Applied. I started my career in the Customer Support division, and have since moved into the Sales organization. I have watched this company transform from a company that was doing well, but not innovating, to becoming the absolute leader within the industry in every aspect. Applied chose to reinvent itself about 6-7 yrs ago and it has been revolutionary. I am so excited about the direction the company is going, and am quite proud to be at the tip of that spear in front of customers & prospects. I have seen an internal culture change as well - employee satisfaction continues to rise, customer satisfaction within the software industry is unheard of, retention remains unmatched. As the company has continued to grow, both organically and through acquisition, there have been countless new opportunities for advancement. It is fun working for a company on the move. I am really glad to be making my career path here at Applied.
Cons
With the organization growing and expanding so rapidly, it is hard to get this message into the DNA of every employee. But despite that, the leadership from top down is committed to follow through. With Applied being like a freight ship it just takes a bit longer to make that full turn, but i feel that the critical mass has been reached and there's no stopping our momentum now.
