Good company?







I’ve read mixed reviews on Applied Medical. Is it a good company to work for? Please be as honest as possible.
I can only speak from the Sales side of the fence. Applied has a few good products, particularly the Alexis and gel products (GelPort and various GelPoints). The problem is the comp plan is largely based on revenue growth, and they consistently set objectives that are unrealistic in order to pay reps less. As a result over 25% of the Sales territories in the U.S. are currently vacant, so that tells a story right there. And management all the way up the chain has no qualms about misrepresenting the comp plan to candidates, and also will blatantly lie about compensation in positions they want to "promote" you to.

IMO the only possible reason to take a job with Applied is if you are looking to get a foot in the door with surgical/medical sales, get a year or two for your resume then look for a company that treats their salesforce with respect, with integrity and with appropriate compensation.

Agree with all of this.

You will be lucky to hit 25% of your quotas through the year and don't expect help from the executive team in closing a deal on a hospital systems to help boost your sales.
 












I think DG is safe but Tim and his drunk loser Zonies might be out to pasture. $100M 3 years in a row, can’t break 102M. All the turnover that’s on Blinky McFuckface.

And can anyone name 1 account Tim has ever closed. Funny you expect a leader to be accomplished, oh wait he closed Kelly’s legs after he smashed that.

Can’t wait for that to blow up.
