      Not Bad, Not Good.

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      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.

      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.

      Great company which customer focus

      Anonymous employee

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great culture (people, mentor) Fast reaction to customer demands (very active customer interactions, POC design) A bunch of great people with a wide range of knowledge (technology, strategy, sales) Concrete actions and delivery (it is all about what to contribute)

      Cons

      Being customer focus is not enough since there is a need to be ahead of what the customer need/want, There are some cliques (technical/nontechnical, new hire/old hire, previous company) that in term could create some problems, Sometimes acting too much at strategic consultant with high vision but no path to execution.

      Thank you for your thoughtful review. I agree that we've built a pretty special culture and that we place priority on "fast reaction to customer demands" It's an interesting thought about being "ahead of what the customer need..." Clearly, this would be awesome. At the same time, this philosophy has plagued the IT industry with products, features, functions that have no market. As in all things, I'm sure that the right answer lies in moderation and balance. Please let me close by wishing you good fortune. I hope that your next experience offers you all that you are looking for and that you find happiness and success.

      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!
