Not a good choice

Pros

Work from home, great work environment if you live in San Jose (which is where most of the employees are). Interesting technology. Benefits are ok - especially if you are based in San Jose.

Cons

High growth + low revenue = high turnover. Lot of promises of "we are one", "no managers", "all family" - don't believe it for a second. As a startup, they are under high pressure to increase revenue, and management is ruthless and arrogant. Hearts and flowers at interview and startup, but blood and daggers a few months later.

Pros

Smart people, market leader, work with fantastic customers who have an urgent need for Apigee's solutions. Compensation is fair and the perks are very good. Managerless culture lets you make your mark without worrying about the political angle.

Cons

You must be a self starter, have the understanding of what it takes to get the job done or you will be quickly lost.

Pros

Great environment for someone to learn and grow. Trusted, Empowered to make decisions. Great people and technology. Freedom in doing what you need to do to get the job done - no bureaucracy or politics. Good environment of cross-functional teamwork. Casual, flexible, open work environment.

Cons

You have to be comfortable with pushing the envelope constantly - and be comfortable working in an environment where your value is derived from the work and impact you have on a daily basis. You can not rest on the laurels of your past, your seniority / "years of experience" or job position/ title. This isn't really a con - but this isn't needed in every other place where people can be successful for other reasons. So something to seriously consider, while considering joining Apigee.

Thank you for writing such a compelling and thoughtful review. I treat this review as so valuable in light of the fact that it is written by someone with 5+ years at Apigee. I've read and re-read the review to assure that I absorbed every ounce of insight from it that I can. When you write that one must be "comfortable with pushing the envelope constantly" - I could not agree with you more. Our customers need us to create value for them in a manner that keeps pace with their ever changing needs. If we don't push the envelope for them then they will fall behind. I've never before worked in a place where I was more confident in our unwillingness to let our customers fail than Apigee. I suspect that you have been instrumental in achieving this reality. For that, thank you!
