Pros

Was an Interesting product to have a few years ago prior to Kubernetes. The admin staff makes the company a fun place to be. Great benefits Met many great people working there.

Cons

CEO basically stopped being involved in the company and let many VP's screw things up. Very high turnover rate - During my time there, I seen people announce their resignation about every two weeks. Spending too much time worrying about the term "Nano-segmentation" like it is such a great thing that nobody else is doing. Over the past year, competitors developed the same product and features more or less and eventually became more innovative for free.

Pros

Great product and well ahead of the current market in its value proposition. A workplace culture that is hard to beat, and practiced core values that inspire healthy working relationships.

Cons

Apcera has a great product, but in some ways they have a big problem with ineffective leadership on several teams and some communication problems that punishes employees who show initiative. Engineering leadership scrambles to release deliverables on a set date basis, but with understaffed development teams this means little to no testing at crunch time. The CEO is hardly ever present and seemingly checked out. It's hard not to notice long-term staff leaving these past few months.
