Pros

Free food, more food and more

Cons

Company culture is either really good if you are part of the "in" crowd, or really bad if you are not. The founder treats this as more of a hobby rather than a real business, given she has never run a business before. No one here lasts long, so don't add another blip to your resume and steer clear.

Pros

When joining Apptimize, I had high expectations for my ability to advance my career and become a stronger sales professional. All of my expectations have been exceeded! Apptimize has a great product and a strong company culture.

Cons

I had some reservations coming in regarding some other reviews. However, all of these are no longer relevant and Apptimize has entered a new, promising time. Very excited for our future.

Pros

There are a lot of negative reviews here, most of which are accurate to a large degree. There are also some positive reviews which are clearly written by the exec team to counter the large # of negative reviews that came in, but there is some truth in them as well. I left Apptimize in early Jan. of 2018, which was messy and definitely not on the best terms. Since that happened, some people thought I had written one (or more) of the really nasty reviews - but I never did write a review. Someone mentioned "the review I wrote" again yesterday, so I wanted to take a moment to set the record straight. Pros: -I joined the business development team mid-way through 2016. When I started the process was in shambles, SDRs weren't hitting quota, and the AEs had no Opportunities (sales deals) to work on. I spoke directly with the (then) CEO about the bottlenecks I had found and strategies to improve the process. She not only took the time to listen was open to feedback, but actually empowered me to solve the problem. -I've never met or worked with a smarter group of people. Nancy is able to attract the best talent there is. Plus, everyone was/is really cool and a lot of people who left still stay in touch (even though I'm bad at it). -Apptimize is a really cool solution, cutting edge technology, in a very new and exciting Market. They also have some incredibly large and impressive customers under their portfolio. -For me, it was a place to learn and grow rapidly. I learned about data science, A/B testing, mobile-app development, and so much more organically. Even more, they paid for me to go through a certification program to help me perform better at my core responsibilities once I got a promotion. -I'd like to re-iterate the people again. It was truly the people and the culture that formed that made working at Apptimize so enjoyable for me. -Even when it came time for Apptimize and I to split ways, the CEO took it upon herself to help me find other opportunities. Without her support during my tenure, and the help at the end, I wouldn't be able to do what I do today. #forevergrateful

Cons

-Stability. It's true that all start-ups have a high turn-over, but that's just out of necessity. Sometimes it seems like the execs would purposfully disrupt the working order of things, just because they "enjoyed volatility". -Another thing that plagues most companies, internal politics. There were too many instances of exec's plotting and bad-mouthing each other behind closed doors, or some of the people they brought on who seemed to be doing well were let go for mundane reasons. -Misplaced trust. There are some at the company who have too much power, don't know what they are doing, tries to micromanage, and alienates every person working under them.
