Great company, amazing people, and impactful and interesting problems to work on! - werkgeversreview Software Engineer bij Applied Intuition

- high growth opportunity - good business directions - products

- work hours - intense work environment

- 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).

- 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.
