Pros

There are possibly some but in my time with Aptean (since inception) I didn't really encounter any

Cons

Driven by the bottom line only, every person is measured purely on cost. It doesn't matter how good you are, if you are expensive and we're not hitting the exorbitant 30% + margins dictated by Vista you're gone. Beyond that there is an overall feeling that no one, even at the VP level, has any say in the management of the company with every single decision being made by Vista. As bad as I thought Consona was in terms of valuing and empowering it's people it was leaps and bounds over Aptean.

Pros

Great environment, the culture is truely incresible

Cons

Slight last of confidence in the future. Recent re-orgs, very single threaded in critical support areas, and ambiguity around when functionalities/tech will be launch give a bit of concern.

Pros

The salary is good if you negotiate at entry into the company. They also have a good bonus structure when you hit the marks and get it. People in product and services are generally good people.

Cons

Raises are almost non-existent, if you get promoted, it is almost as if you didn't get a raise. Being in services is almost like living under a rock, you will not get visibility in any other area of the company. Extremely HIGH turnover in consultants and leadership. Not somewhere I would recommend somewhere who wants to learn and continuously grow in their career in the long term.
