Pros

I've been working at API for over 10 years. It is a great place to work. The people are great. I feel like we matter in the world. We are trying to do our part to keep the cost of healthcare down. That is a great motivator. The GE acquisition has opened a lot of doors, both individually and for the company. We now have access to 300,000 other employees. There are opportunities to move positions within GE and keep seniority. As for the company, GE Healthcare is investing heavily in our business because they believe in what we do. That is allowing us to do things we never could in the past. We get great benefits. Very generous vacation/personal/sick time.

Cons

Hartford is a little bit out of the way, but it isn't that bad. 30 min drive and you are in Milwaukee.

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.
