Pros

Good Team Member, Sports and Social Committee and Central Location are the only pro's about this place.

Cons

This place is a joke. Apex is cutting costs where ever they can and buying up so much business it is not able to cope with all the work coming in. What used to take 1 team half a day to complete a task is now being processed my 3 teams in 3 different countries that take more than a day. Apex have managed to find a loop hole around the TUPE legislation that protects workers from losing their jobs when a company is bought so they make redundancies as soon as the staff transfer over to Apex. Apex and some of its directors have been brought to court for administering fraudulent funds. The corporate titles are ridiculous and don't hold any value to them. They say they are a people first organisation but don't let this fool you. The office is terrible and has a small cafeteria for around 200 people where the staff are always on top of each other or in the way when people are just trying to make a cup of coffee. There aren't enough toilets in the office for the amount of staff there so you are constantly going in and out checking to see when there is one free. The systems are always crashing which delays your work and take away from your work life balance. The staff turnover is huge and it can take anywhere from 1 - 2 months to get someone new in which puts you under serious pressure to get work done. Benefits don't come close to what other companies are offering and they give the bare minimum holidays. I could write a lot more abut the goings on of this place but the above should be enough to keep you away.

Pros

Growing company . Scope of growth if you are able to bootlick managers or are flawless.

Cons

System s are slow. Management is politics oriented.willing to scape goat people for their own benefit Arrogant and aggressive managers with no professional etiquette. Unrealistic demand from employees. Make people login in weekend as well whereas the managers are themselves not available for most of the time. Hell would be a better place. All the performers become under-performers due to such a obnoxious environment. If management is not changed, difficult to be a growing organization. No training plan for new joiners. asked to sit for OJT from day 2. expected to pickup and become BAU within 2 weeks. Don't join in this company to land in jeopardy.All employees new in Apex.No te ured people are there who are more than an year and half which makes it very clear that no peole can survive this.

Pros

There are good people working here and plenty of social opportunities. The healthcare benefits are quite nice and the company provides sponsorship for the ICSA qualification (provided you have worked for the company at least 1 year). The Company pays overtime at a 1:1 rate, regardless of when the overtime occurs.

Cons

Salary and bonuses are well below market rate, salary increases are minimal to unnoticeable. Having too few staff per team is common and the Company pushes back on all attempts to rectify this causing plenty of overtime. Poor communication from higher up the chain, things just happen and staff are informed afterwards. Disparity of salary between staff is very common, to the point where more experienced staff in a higher position may be getting paid less than those they are training. Any discussions in this regard are pushed down the road and not answered for as long as possible.
