The Truth

Pros

Hardworking & intelligent people, nice location

Cons

It's so obvious that the post titled “GREAT new CEO ” is written by executive mgmt that its laughable. The employees' points of view that precede it (notice the one and two star ratings and consistent theme of despair) are the ones that are truthful and not dripping in bs. That kind of plugged PR completely defeats the purpose of a forum for honest feedback.

Worst year of my life

Pros

Incredibly easy to get hired, if you'd want to work at such a place. Decent cake every month for people's birthdays.

Cons

Management is clueless, and there's way too many of them. I honestly couldn't tell you who my direct boss was or what he/she did on a day to day level besides walk around. They handed their best selling product to a bunch of associates on their first real job with no direction. They want you to fix the product while simultaneously firing everybody before you who knew anything about it, and then shame you when it turns out to be an impractical use of time. Aptean hosts a bad work environment. Very limited working space. Features include rows and clusters of mini stations in a corporate cubicled fashion. It's depressing to look at, nonetheless be apart of. Management stalks you down from the time you walk in to the time you walk out constantly harping on hours. Every counter social movement employees have thought of (all harmless) to keep morale up was shot down. Top notch employees were treated like dirt. Brown nosers were heralded. Most of the people who knew their worth left on their own terms, and the company fired the rest who didn't.

Pros

Free training resources and videos on ApteanU

Cons

Profits before people. Company talks about a people first culture but they are just words on a power point presentation. If you are acquired by Aptean expect a company reorganization based on Vista Equity Partners cookie cutter model. Expect multiple rounds of layoffs followed by a transition of your product to an "Apteanized" one. You, your clients, your co-workers are numbers on a spreadsheet. If you have skills of any kind and are confident of them avoid Aptean at all costs, their are companies that actually care about their employees and Aptean is not one of them.
