Pluspunten

Working here means you’re right in the middle of the autonomous vehicle revolution. The projects are next-level, and you get to play with some seriously cool tech that’s shaping the future. The people at Applied are sharp, motivated, and down-to-earth. There’s a strong vibe of teamwork and sharing knowledge, which makes it a great place to learn and grow. The leadership is approachable. They’re really focused on making sure the team is happy and the company is headed in the right direction. If you’re hungry to learn and take on new challenges, this is the place. Plenty of opportunities to level up your skills or take on more responsibility.

Minpunten

Every now and then, you come across an engineer who’s never had a “real” job (e.g. only FAANgs and entitled tech companies) and complains about trivial things, like the amount of free food, despite the company making a solid effort to accommodate everyone. It’s rare, but when it happens, it’s frustrating. These people would probably be happier elsewhere, taking control of their own happiness instead of wasting everyone else’s time with their entitled attitudes.

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.
