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

There are good people throughout the organization who genuinely want to do quality work and support one another.

Cons

My experience was that Apex Group prioritized short-term cost savings (involuntary terminations) over investing in its people's on-the-job training, promotion opportunities, compensation & bonus pay, and morale/culture Turnover was significantly higher than I expected, particularly in key functions and at the Functional Head, Regional Head, or C-Suite level Prospective employees should carefully review their offer letter regarding probationary period-related employment notice periods & benefits eligibility (you can only enroll in the 401K once you've worked there for 3 months) During my time there, employee morale was low. Progressions/promotions, as swell as compensation growth and bonus opportunities were minimal due to frequent pressure to 'do more with less,' leading to voluntary resignations, employee burnout, and client attrition due low quality service If you are interviewing, I would encourage you to ask direct questions about probationary notice period, turnover, and leadership changes in the last year Based on my experience, I would not recommend anyone works at this firm
