Applied Systems Reviews

Pros

I genuinely enjoy working at Applied Systems. - My coworkers are friendly and hard-working. It's clear to me they are committed to making the best products they can. We're comfortable asking each other for help and bringing up disagreements with each other with an eye towards finding the best approach, not to winning arguments. - Management is awesome. I feel very comfortable talking to my boss when I need help, and...

Cons

Applied tends to pay below market average. For me, though, the great work environment is worth it.

Advice to Management

During one of his presentations, the CEO said, "My strategy is to hire good people and keep them." From what I've seen at the company, I honestly believe he and the rest of the management mean that. Keep it up!

Culture can very from office to office.

Pros

Great benefits, colleagues make the work environment tolerable.

Cons

Management has no formal training making the work place extremely unorganized and at times chaotic. You are constantly pressed to give quality customer service, yet at the same time condemned when you you put quality over quantity.

An industry leader with top-notch technology and innovative platforms delivering agency management systems, now with Google’s investment arm which purchased a minority stake in Applied Systems last year, so greater things are yet to come!

Cons

Travelling Mon-Fri 3 weeks + a month coast-to-coast, sometimes on Sundays, and/or on State and Federal Holidays, then working virtual once a week from home. This is a salaried role so there is no add'l pay for overtime, or add'l compensation /make-up for long days travelling across the country or any add'l pay for travelling on Sundays/Holidays. The "Work/Life Balance" is barely possible, depending on your lifestyle,...

Advice to Management

Have your managers actually MANAGE their direct-reports! The role of your managers are NOT to be on the road 85% of the time so you achieve maximum billing utilization!
