Pros

they hire a lot of young, energetic people. So if you're looking for a first time job out of the gate, these folks might be a spot to stop until you have some experience under your belt.

Cons

Aptean is controlled by Vista. It's not clear who is managing the company since there has been a revolving door of executives, none of whom has been willing to buck the system. Doing business with them is far more complicated than it should be and they do not trust either employees or customers. They riffed almost the entire sales team since they wanted to concentrate on recurring revenue and not on new customers. I understand the business model is to buy companies and then "pretty them up" and resell them, but they're not investing to grow them enough to make the sale as lucrative as it could be. There have been at least 3 CEOs, 3 CFOs and 3 General Counsel's, not to mention numerous operations executives and sales management executives in the short time I was there. With that kind of lack of stability, consider it a badge of honor if you can last a year or two - see Pros for why you might consider going there.

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.
