Employees at Applus+ appreciate the good management who understand people well and recognise their talents. They value the opportunity to travel around the world, meet new people, exchange knowledge, learn new things, and explore while living on board and sailing. Reviewers highlight the great working colleagues and staff benefits, as well as the good technical knowledge they gain. Applus+ offers a good work-life balance with few stresses, and employees value the open culture where they can respect other views, have friendly colleagues, receive support from management, and have a platform to grow and share ideas. Additionally, reviewers appreciate the opportunity to learn new skills through the company's system of allowing employees to try out different departments and find their best fit.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as concerns about compensation, with some employees feeling that wages could be improved and not receiving bonuses or increments for years. Employees also note the need to complete reporting and tasks on time to meet client expectations. Applus+ has a fast-paced environment that requires great coordination skills, and during times of recession, employees have faced difficulties such as manpower cuts. Additionally, employees sometimes need to work under pressure to get the job done properly within the given time schedule, particularly for offshore jobs. Reviewers suggest that Applus+ could upgrade their in-house system and have a more interactive intranet, and some employees feel that a timely rotational system could be implemented to help everyone find their best suitable skills.
