Pros

- Really interesting technical problems to solve on all fronts (customer-facing, internal tools, infra, open-source) and opporutnity to work with brand new/up and coming technology - Dedication to open source contribution and presence in communities - They take care of their employees, great benefits, pay, perks and appreciation from coaches - Coach > Manager, your coach is the person responsible for evaluating bonuses and doing all the managerial things, but they also take their job as a mentor seriously. I've had great coach relationships and they've been the highlight of my time here. - Lots of opportunity to step up and take ownership of projects - Obvious that everyone believes in and is passionate about the company and is unified behind a central vision. - Flat hierarchy means you can talk to anyone, and it is in fact welcome/encouraged

Cons

- can feel slightly chaotic at times due to flat hierarchy, when attempting to determine who the PoC is for something - hint of poor work/life balance, sometimes messages will come in on weekends or late hours of a weekday, sometimes asked to make really tough deadlines (however upon hitting them, reward is not far behind)

Thank you for your thorough review. I've learned from reading your thoughts. Perhaps one of the most gratifying things I've read here is when you said "I've had great coach relationships and they've been the highlight of my time here" Totally appreciate the work/life balance comment. We are surrounded by dedicated, committed people who integrate work and life and often find the work part to subsume much of the life part. I suspect that some of this is simply the way we are wired. That said, am always open to ideas re. how we might improve in this area. Last thought: I'm reading this at the end of a week. You've set me up for a nice weekend. Thank YOU!

Pros

Smart people, market leader, work with fantastic customers who have an urgent need for Apigee's solutions. Compensation is fair and the perks are very good. Managerless culture lets you make your mark without worrying about the political angle.

Cons

You must be a self starter, have the understanding of what it takes to get the job done or you will be quickly lost.

Nothing great. Better places in the valley.

Pros

-Good compensation. -Great benefits. Medical insurance is free ( very small copays this year on ). -Catered meals. -Flexible working hours -Some ( few ) smart people. -Good chance to learn some new tech and AWS.

Cons

-Very top-heavy. Too many managers/directors/VPs - There are about 15 people doing product management for such a small firm. Too many directors in Insights ( when the product barely makes 2 million in revenue ). This is not an engineering driven firm. -Tons of bureaucracy. The CTO is very smart but is not allowed to provide direction. Very few technical managers who have the chops. Most of the managers are there to monitor scrum meetings and mumble on customer calls. -Devops is fearful of deploying anything new in production. There are lots of meetings to discuss new frameworks but very little sees the light of day because devops vetoes most new stuff. -Lots of developer churn. This is why you keep seeing job postings on Linkedin. -Massive equity dilution. Expect a high reverse stock-split at the IPO. If you have not seen the S-1 filing, you should. Only managers and above stand to make even a few 100k. The rest of the rank and file will not see much.

I must admit that it always astounds me when a current employee says "Nothing great. Better places in the valley." I'm sure that people are left wondering the same thing I am. If this place is not great, why are you a current employee? The "con" about management layers is hard to understand in a company with no titles or levels. Perhaps that more a self-imposed hierarchy than real? And the words about whether we are or are not "engineering driven" is challenging in that I'm not sure that the goal is to be engineering driven. We are customer driven. I'm glad that you've mentioned and noticed the postings on Linked In. Yes, as a GROWING firm, we are hiring awesome people - including Engineers! Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
