Pros

None, avoid, avoid, avoid at all cost

Cons

Manager power tripping and looking for someone to blame, too many reporting requirements, the internal pressure is worse than client deliverables, monthly KPI which is basically not all services provided to there, kimble/timesheet which is useless as you cant really accurately put all the tasks you’ve done and it also adds to time preparing it, false promises of promotion to delegate manager’s responsibilities to fund accountant to ease their responsibilities (not really appealing to people who are looking for work life balance), salaries way below the market.

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
