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

It's hard to quantify all the pro's of this company. I came to Apprenda, with several years of sales experience, but lacking strong technical expertise outside of my general knowledge and everyday utilization of technology. This caused me to be very hesitant and nervous during my first few days on the job and I doubted that I could be successful working for a software company in the rapidly growing industry of cloud computing. Any doubts I had were wiped away in one week, and this is why... - Extensive training program during first month - Constant positive reinforcement, support and collaboration from peers - Active mentoring - Fun and interactive on-boarding, via internal website based campaign - Competitive pay and career growth opportunities - Team building activities frequently - Contagious team atmosphere - Inspiring colleagues and leadership team - Friday lunches for employees - Great work space

Cons

I'll let you know when I find one...
