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!

Pros

There are a lot of exceptional people at Apigee. There are also people who aren't quite there yet, but most of them are young and by being here, they'll definitely be exceptional in their field in the future. If you're an Engineer, you'll be tasked with challenging problems. The problems, in my experience, have been fun and exciting. I remember during my interview, my interviewer said something that really stuck with me and enticed me into joining and that was "We're trying to solve the problems of the future". For context during the interview, "problems" referred to technical problems, but in many ways Apigee as a whole is trying to solve other problems in the world. If there's anything that you need in order to do your job better, you can definitely send a casual message to either the front desk (people ops) or IT. There's also a vending machine with common accessories. Parking is a breeze if you manage to get access to the building's parking lot. Otherwise, it's a small walk from the other parking lot down the street. Keto/Low-carbers will not have many issues with the catered lunch selections. There's usually always options. I, however, sometimes cheat when Sushi day comes along. Mostly everyone's calendar is public so you can spy Table tennis table and billiards in the gym

Cons

You might gain weight here if you aren't strongly willed when 11:30am comes around, but even the healthy options are tasty
