Kontras

Apigee is run by CEO's boys, whose credentials are secondary to acquaintance with him. Apigee hasn't focused on building good platforms inspite of having some good engineers. This is largely because of CEO's impatience, impractical deadlines and wrong leaders. A disproportionate portion of the company are leaders, we have various groups called Leader Ship Team, Build Team, Indian LeaderShip team, Extended Leadership Team etc. This is a weird phenomenon for a small company and can be attributed to Chet's boys coming from Big companies. The transition from a small to mid sized company has failed miserably so far. The company claims to be customer oriented, but that doesn't translate stable platforms and fire fighting is the norm. Apigee claims to be a fast growing company but employees' bonuses are delayed or deferred. Engineering organization in Bangalore has been Annhilated and it is matter of time, the same happens in US. Employees are very dissatisfied and the managers don't seem to care. Huge Disparities exist in Salaries and stock options between leaders and non-leaders. Politics, favoritism and heavy handedness are norm here.

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

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