Fast Moving Company Still Figuring It Out

Pros

Their office is amazing: very open spaces, standing desks, breakout rooms, workout room, huge kitchen area, pong table, couches, you name it. CEO is approachable. If you're interested in technology, it's a pretty exciting space (PaaS) to be in for Upstate, NY.

Cons

Some of the benefits really aren't, like the "unlimited" vacation policy. You need to get vacation approved by management, and that's easier said than done depending on what's going on in your dept. There's an expectation to work crazy hours if need be. There's a review process which is fair, but nothing formalized to advance your salary / career standing. Depending on your position, it could be a high level of stress.

Best Company I've Worked At, Excellent Future Outlook

Pros

Great working environment with like-minded teams; frustrations are rare. Weekly catered lunches, free beer on tap, refrigerators stocked with all kinds of drinks, delicious espresso. Team and company-wide events, bi-weekly company updates, quarterly retrospectives, cross-functional projects - this is a team-focused company that encourages everyone to get involved and contribute the best way they can.

Cons

None for me! But consider potential cons, depending on who you are: Being a startup, there isn't a clearly defined career path, so you make one for yourself; if you don't want to take initiative on your own, then maybe wait until the company is bigger. If you are expecting an annual salary adjustment just for showing up to work, you might be disappointed. Things can change very quickly, so if you don't like change, you might not like working at Apprenda.

Pros

Apprenda is a fast paced environment, with a track record of hiring smart and hungry people that want to solve new and complex problems. Additionally Apprenda does a good job engaging and fostering an inclusive work culture with good work/life balance.

Cons

At time competing and shifting priorities of our clients and the market as a whole can make it difficult to strike the right balance between time spent innovating and time spent improving the existing platform.
