Pros

Incredibly easy to get hired, if you'd want to work at such a place. Decent cake every month for people's birthdays.

Cons

Management is clueless, and there's way too many of them. I honestly couldn't tell you who my direct boss was or what he/she did on a day to day level besides walk around. They handed their best selling product to a bunch of associates on their first real job with no direction. They want you to fix the product while simultaneously firing everybody before you who knew anything about it, and then shame you when it turns out to be an impractical use of time. Aptean hosts a bad work environment. Very limited working space. Features include rows and clusters of mini stations in a corporate cubicled fashion. It's depressing to look at, nonetheless be apart of. Management stalks you down from the time you walk in to the time you walk out constantly harping on hours. Every counter social movement employees have thought of (all harmless) to keep morale up was shot down. Top notch employees were treated like dirt. Brown nosers were heralded. Most of the people who knew their worth left on their own terms, and the company fired the rest who didn't.

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.
