Pluspunten

Start up, small, agile. Innovative technologies (in some places) and decent work environment. Nice and clever people to work with.

Minpunten

Very political for such a small place. Also change in sales approach to very formulaic and process driven. Sales pretty cut-throat and bad leadership culture. Relentlessly fast paced - no time to take a breather when having a successful moment. There was always something that could have been done better or in addition.

I value your thinking on taking a breather when having a successful moment and your advice that we acknowledge and celebrate success. I agree that this is something we need to continue to work on. I hope that over time you'll sense that we are getting better at this. As a current employee, I also hope that you will be an agent of change - help us get there. If you allow yourself to de-prioritize the belief that the culture is political and just go for something you think is important, because you can, perhaps you'll find that meritorious ideas carry more weight than the people offering them? Thanks for your review. I have learned from your thinking.

Pluspunten

There are a lot of exceptional people at Apigee. There are also people who aren't quite there yet, but most of them are young and by being here, they'll definitely be exceptional in their field in the future. If you're an Engineer, you'll be tasked with challenging problems. The problems, in my experience, have been fun and exciting. I remember during my interview, my interviewer said something that really stuck with me and enticed me into joining and that was "We're trying to solve the problems of the future". For context during the interview, "problems" referred to technical problems, but in many ways Apigee as a whole is trying to solve other problems in the world. If there's anything that you need in order to do your job better, you can definitely send a casual message to either the front desk (people ops) or IT. There's also a vending machine with common accessories. Parking is a breeze if you manage to get access to the building's parking lot. Otherwise, it's a small walk from the other parking lot down the street. Keto/Low-carbers will not have many issues with the catered lunch selections. There's usually always options. I, however, sometimes cheat when Sushi day comes along. Mostly everyone's calendar is public so you can spy Table tennis table and billiards in the gym

Minpunten

You might gain weight here if you aren't strongly willed when 11:30am comes around, but even the healthy options are tasty
