Pros

Aptean hires 90% straight out of school graduates so it is a good place to start your career with very little experience. It has nice benefits.

Cons

They hire experienced staff to train the new college graduates and then fire, lay off, or run off the experienced people. The experienced people are so busy dealing with tactical issues that no one is focusing on the strategic issues. Staff are expected to follow orders and work long hours for low pay. The culture does not allow asking questions or making suggestions. They want blind obedience.

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.
