Pros

They tried to make sure that people feel comfortable at work; Compensation was ok; good relationships between employees were fostered through common activities

Cons

The pressure of private equity ownership can be felt in every executive decision being made; nepotism/cronyism wasn't a rare occurrence, people without the right connections were let go.

Thank you for your review. Private equity ownership has provided a strong financial backing for Aptean’s growth. Our current ownership is known as an active investor, providing a solid sounding board for how we deliver on our strategy. They continue to stand behind the decisions we make, supporting the improvements we are committed to making for our employees and for our customers.

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.
