Pros

Lunch everyday and flexible work hours

Cons

-Management is inexperienced. You are either managed by someone who has no idea how to do the job or someone who barely does. -Unless you drink the cool aid you will be pushed out. -Sales and marketing teams have been changed numerous times since the company started 4 years ago. -No one wants to buy the product. -Nepotism is alive and well. (Especially by CEO) -You work all day everyday. Constantly being Slacked to do things on your off hours. -Major promises (and lies) are made to employees so they join, but they never get fulfilled. -The turnover is extremely high. -CEO is inappropriate and says things a "leader" should never say to her employees.

Pros

Close to the 101 freeway but that's not saying much. If your boss likes you, there is some work from home flexibility.

Cons

If you're interviewing here, they will lie to you about everything to get you excited. They will they tell you things like "we've never lost a deal to a competitor" only for you to double check Salesforce and see the complete opposite. Your jaws will drop in disgust, I guarantee it. The day to day here will drive you mad. For a company with more sales reps than general workers, the office easily rivals an empty library. No one makes calls from their desk because everyone is junior and afraid to screw up, and the roll of the eyes you get from a non-sales colleague from time to time for being "inconsiderate" for taking a customer call at the desk will seal it. With that said, the entire management team has now elected to "shadow" each and every single call and meeting that takes place. Imagine how awkward it is to have 5-7 people from your team attend everyone of your calls and meetings and send you slack messages (during the call and meetings) micromanaging you with what to say. Aside from that, the culture here is sad. It seems like everyone hates their job here. Lots of negativity. Every water cooler break or "going for a walk to get fresh air" seems to be a session with someone needing to vent about how frustrated they are with something or someone. You're either a yes-man, or you've found a new job. Over the course of just 6 months, they've gone through 3 VP of Sales, 2 Marketing Executives, all of the co-founders except the CEO have quit (most likely because of the CEO), and at least a couple of dozen sales people have come and gone for various reasons and hold a hatred for this place. Do your research and you'll see that I might actually be underestimating the amount of turnover this place actually has. The leadership team here is egotistical and inexperienced. They take the meaning of 'blind leading the blind' to a whole new level. The CEO is also extremely awkward and irrational with everything, and I mean everything. Be warned. Friends don't let friends Apptimize.

Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience or were not set up for success. Apptimize is definitely a learning and growing startup and went through some major changes toward the end of last year. However, after some restructuring and a newly established People Operations team focusing on a robust employee experience as we scale, we are hopeful and excited that we'll be building something great!
