Pros

At the time when I was in the employment with Apigee, I saw a major technical, headcount and management shift, ups and down. The colleagues were awesome. Work culture was good. - TGIF, - kind of flat structure. - Employee friendly policies. - Few projects were not revenue generating, and less work. Sometimes, people used to just enjoy life and waste time without goal.

Cons

- Difference in pays. There was no benchmarking. Few people with half the experience were paid double the salary compared to double experienced folks - Engineering team at India saw confused leadership, less hikes, plans without goals. - Some bigshots were just engaged in big talks. - Bad experience for patent application. Just to submit for patent application, leadership spent 1 year. The complete submission process was driven by me. - Once an employee quits organisation, the company does not bother about checking the status of the patent application. Being the inventor of the patent, I was curious about the status, but company's patent process handling person gave, none of you business now and do not try contacting us in future, kind of reply.

Thank you for your review. I'm sorry that your experience with us fell short of your expectations. While I'm happy that you viewed our flat structure, policies and projects positively, I take seriously your perceptions of our people practices in India. Your insights will help us improve and for that I thank you. All the best to you in your future endeavors.

Pros

- Really interesting technical problems to solve on all fronts (customer-facing, internal tools, infra, open-source) and opporutnity to work with brand new/up and coming technology - Dedication to open source contribution and presence in communities - They take care of their employees, great benefits, pay, perks and appreciation from coaches - Coach > Manager, your coach is the person responsible for evaluating bonuses and doing all the managerial things, but they also take their job as a mentor seriously. I've had great coach relationships and they've been the highlight of my time here. - Lots of opportunity to step up and take ownership of projects - Obvious that everyone believes in and is passionate about the company and is unified behind a central vision. - Flat hierarchy means you can talk to anyone, and it is in fact welcome/encouraged

Cons

- can feel slightly chaotic at times due to flat hierarchy, when attempting to determine who the PoC is for something - hint of poor work/life balance, sometimes messages will come in on weekends or late hours of a weekday, sometimes asked to make really tough deadlines (however upon hitting them, reward is not far behind)

Thank you for your thorough review. I've learned from reading your thoughts. Perhaps one of the most gratifying things I've read here is when you said "I've had great coach relationships and they've been the highlight of my time here" Totally appreciate the work/life balance comment. We are surrounded by dedicated, committed people who integrate work and life and often find the work part to subsume much of the life part. I suspect that some of this is simply the way we are wired. That said, am always open to ideas re. how we might improve in this area. Last thought: I'm reading this at the end of a week. You've set me up for a nice weekend. Thank YOU!
