Great Place if You're Not in Management - Marketing Aptera Software Employee Review

Working for Aptera was like working with your best friends and family. Everyone strived for the best practices and quality in all areas. The leadership team really cared about the employees and their input.

Getting acquired and losing a lot of those great qualities and people

I worked with Aptera as a sales person and I can honestly say I am so grateful for the experience I gained and the people I got to work with. I would say as a company - everyone at Aptera aims to be constantly bettering themselves, which, really helped as a salesperson. When you're selling something you genuinely believe in - it comes across to the prospect/client. Unlike many tech companies that really just focus on developing the technical staff - Aptera places a HEAVY emphasis on quality in the sales team - they invest a LOT in sales training and treat sales as a craft. One of the coolest things about Aptera - EVERY Friday morning - they get the ENTIRE company together for an "Employee Recognition" meeting with the sole purpose of highlighting any victories and/or positives during that week of working on projects. Such a cool tradition. They also understand that no one will be in any job forever and the CEO especially is very open about this - he genuinely aims to add to anyone's life that crosses his path and wishes them well in the end. Although I have accepted a role at another company... if someone came to me and asked if they should work at Aptera - I would say absolutely.

(N/A) However... If you suck at ping pong - you need to practice before working here - because you will get whooped.
