I worked at Apptio full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
- A lot of opportunity for career growth. You will have no shortage of opportunities - sometimes you have to find them yourself, but they are always going to be there.
- Great people who are truly supportive of you
- Innovative, category leading product with a lot of momentum
Cons
- Like with most high growth SaaS companies, change is a constant. I can't imagine this isn't something you'd run into elsewhere.
Advice to Management
Continue to remain transparent with your teams to the best of your ability. There are a lot of exciting times ahead, but the people at Apptio are truly extraordinary and deserve to continue to be kept up to date as much as possible. Continue to find ways to celebrate the hard work that has made the company as successful as it is.

The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apptio.
Interview
Initial communication and coordination of the interview was great. I had two 1:1 interviews with mid-level software engineers: the interviewers were friendly and both interviews were challenging but went well. I got called back for one more interview with a top level engineer/manager. I struggled a bit on his technical question, but he was abrasive and condescending in response to any of my questions. He had the attitude that since I didn't get the solution immediately I was wasting his time; this attitude lasted the rest of the interview. I turned around several times while coding to see him reading his phone, not even paying attention. I was pretty close to asking to end the interview, since it was clear he would rather be somewhere else. I decided when I left that regardless of the overall outcome I wouldn't want to work under this guy in any capacity. I never got a response either way from HR, which was icing on the cake of me never wanting to work there.
