Pros

Work culture is good. Company treats its employees well.

Cons

1. Too much freedom to analysts and little prior experience in a corporate environment means they have little know on what are fair expectations to have and when they are giving over. Some of the analysts work ethics are questionable often reporting at work at 2 pm on a daily basis. It is all one sided expectation where they themselves do not believe that a person forges his career by his own efforts and hard work. Simply say they don't self introspect. An easier way is for a bunch of people holding grudges to put a anonymous reviews here on glassdoor or put backdoor questions in an anonymous box and thus put pressure on the management. If you know you are correct, you don't have to use backdoor means. 2. Some of the leaders at the Apex do little in terms of mentoring people or contribute to the growth of the organization. They have been given absolute powers and do not care to even explain the rationale behind crucial decisions. 3. Make people at Apex contribute more to the organization growth. They need to justify their salaries. 4. Over hiring might create issues later. Hire people for the long term only keeping in mind your business growth rate.

Pros

The ultimate reason I like working here is that you get to choose what project/focus area you want to work on. You can choose your own projects ( as long as you don't take an eternity to decide). If you build up a good profile and reputation at work, I believe you get to have a significant say in deciding your follow-up projects. Additionally, the company has built up a decent pool of graduates from the best institutes of India. This is helping people compete healthily within the organisation.

Cons

The middle management in the company is something that can be a bit frustrating for a junior. The lack of potential planning at times and incompetent project managers puts the reputation of analysts at risk. The pay package offered is not great considering the company vies to be the best in the field in the very near future. Talks of people leaving for better pay are not very uncommon.

Pros

There is not a single experience that I would categorize as "pro" because the company has too, too many shortcomings.

Cons

Qualifications and conduct of top level managers isn't questioned. Work-life balance is only focused on Work. Support staff is inexperienced and undependable. Ignore mismatch between employee qualifications/capability with roles.
