Pros

Their office is amazing: very open spaces, standing desks, breakout rooms, workout room, huge kitchen area, pong table, couches, you name it. CEO is approachable. If you're interested in technology, it's a pretty exciting space (PaaS) to be in for Upstate, NY.

Cons

Some of the benefits really aren't, like the "unlimited" vacation policy. You need to get vacation approved by management, and that's easier said than done depending on what's going on in your dept. There's an expectation to work crazy hours if need be. There's a review process which is fair, but nothing formalized to advance your salary / career standing. Depending on your position, it could be a high level of stress.

Pros

It's hard to quantify all the pro's of this company. I came to Apprenda, with several years of sales experience, but lacking strong technical expertise outside of my general knowledge and everyday utilization of technology. This caused me to be very hesitant and nervous during my first few days on the job and I doubted that I could be successful working for a software company in the rapidly growing industry of cloud computing. Any doubts I had were wiped away in one week, and this is why... - Extensive training program during first month - Constant positive reinforcement, support and collaboration from peers - Active mentoring - Fun and interactive on-boarding, via internal website based campaign - Competitive pay and career growth opportunities - Team building activities frequently - Contagious team atmosphere - Inspiring colleagues and leadership team - Friday lunches for employees - Great work space

Cons

I'll let you know when I find one...
