Pros

Overall they hire fun people. Based off of a start up culture that is fun and relaxed (depending on the department). They drink a lot. CEO is a good guy at heart and very personable.

Cons

Felt like some poor decisions were made in upper management. Different departments have been "restructured". Felt pressured to highly rate the company every year on surveys. Given unlimited time off, but felt shamed for asking for any of it. Very few employees from the early years are still with the company.

Hi there, thank you for your honest and critical feedback. It is unfortunate that you feel upper management has made poor decisions. While it is unclear what you might be referencing, it is absolutely true that we are not perfect, and sometimes we make decisions that, in hindsight, were mistakes. There is a balance between willingness to make mistakes by trying something new and continuing a more consistent, albeit potentially less forward-thinking structure. I am truly sorry to hear that some of these failures have affected you negatively. I am also personally concerned that you felt obligated to rank the company positively. The People Operations team has always actively avoided pressuring employees to rank Apto in a certain way--after all, it's a review on our company, and we want an accurate picture. How else will we be able to continue hiring great people? Finally, we review time off taken by employees on a quarterly basis. Our goal in that audit is to identify individuals or teams where people are not taking vacation and to isolate the cause. To date, we have not had any wide-scale team or departmental issues, so I would advise speaking with your manager or the People Operations team if you are not comfortable taking time off. Thank you again for your honesty and I hope that, if you're still with us, you are willing to work with management and/or the People Operations team to rectify these issues. Please feel free to reach out to me directly. Tim Warson Apto

Exciting place to grow

Pros

Apto has been an exciting and innovative company to grow with over the past couple years. I have learned a great deal not only in my own function, but also working with other departments through various projects and day to day interactions. It is an extremely collaborative culture, and the executive team's transparency allows everyone in the company to understand how they are directly impacting the company's growth and share in its successes.

Cons

Start-up growing pains - product shifts can be frustrating, but also good learning experiences about what didn't work and has helped guide where our product is now.
