Pros

- Benefits were very good after being acquired by GE. - Paid for further education, through GE. - Never had to take work home or ever contacted outside of work hours. So work/life balance was good.

Cons

- Zero opportunity for advancement in my department. - Management was incredibly poor. No matter how well or the endless extra work that you took on the smallest issue would be found and highlighted. Workplace was incredibly toxic. I am 3.5 years out of working here and still only hear about the toxic work environment from previous coworkers. - Mishandled by Senior Management during the companies time with GE. Multiple RIFs (reduction in force). Always in fear of when your position was next to be eliminated. My own manager pushed to outsource our work to secure his own position while his staff would be eliminated. - Pay was very poor, but improved slightly once acquired by GE. Still low for title/area.

Pros

API is a fast growing company in a promising market. What started out many years ago as a small, close-knit community business is rapidly growing into a large software company. For employees that remember the good old days, this is probably disconcerting. For those that are newer, it's just a great chance to catch a company on the upswing. Senior leadership is definitely committed to increasing sales - that's how a company grows. But they are also refreshingly open to change and suggestions on how to do better. The CEO is open and accessible, as is the rest of the leadership team. The company has invested heavily in agile development (scrum), and is very committed to making it successful. There are the firefighting challenges that all software companies deal with, but when the fires are put out, the process and expectations seem quite reasonable. Overall, it's a good small-ish company that is learning how to be a good big-ish company. There aren't a lot of politics to deal with, not a lot of red tape, and leadership seems open to change. That's not a bad place to work in my book.

Cons

The company commitment to customer satisfaction makes it seem like saying 'no' isn't in our vocabulary.
