Pros

Most people at the company are great to work with

Cons

The company could be great, but the problems unfortunately come from the highest levels. There's a very combative dynamic between most departments with finger pointing in every which direction. The CEO constantly blames everything on development when he's the one that causes the companies problems in most cases. One of the biggest issues is in giving estimates for larger projects. If you need 6 developers to complete a project in 6 months, you'll only end up getting 3 or so developers, and they'll be constantly pulled off to force in functionality that doesn't exist but was sold to clients anyway. No matter how many times the executives are informed that it's not going to be on time, due to lack of resources, they won't accept it and require you to work longer hours to hit the date. The date is almost never hit, so development then gets blamed for being lazy and inadequate. Frequently Development is required to force in functionality (mentioned above) that should be planned and executed over months but is only given weeks. This leads to the applications being riddled with functionality that doesn't make any sense and only partially completed. Development is never given time to fully flush these out. This just further exacerbates the problem causing more bugs and technical debt. The development department is vastly understaffed for creating solid applications given the work load. Requirements are almost impossible to come by. Development is always given extremely broad statements and a brief high level explanation of how someone thinks client requested functionality should work. Then it just has to be re-factored several times as new info comes in.

Pros

The company does have large corporate clients that do provide an income stream. The company is tight with the expenses. The company does try to do more with less. The company does try to do everything possible and impossible for the client. The company will try to deliver products on tight deadlines with minimal resources. Not sure these are actually Pros for individuals working at Apptricity, but they are Pros for the company itself.

Cons

There are no real exciting reasons to work here other than it is a job and it does provide income and you get the same basic paid holidays, vacation schedule and non-competitive health benefits. It's the legacy business set up dating back to the 1980's. If you want to work here and make an impact immediately, then you should be prepared to be disappointed. Financial control starts at the top and stays at top of the food chain. The other favorable posts (and I question if those are even authentic) seem to have a common theme of ...if you don't want to come to work to do some actual work, then don't work here. Really? I think most people in the industry go to work to do something special at work and not because they couldn't handle doing work. If you're posting those messages about being too weak to work with the strong, then please stop and don't criticize. You're not helping. Those who post unfavorable reviews are the ones who left Apptricity for more lucrative and interesting and rewarding work. It was not about the amount of work, it was about the lack of vision and genuine caring about the individual needs of your staff.

Pros

That someone on their Executive Staff knows how to cover up their negative responses to their Company reviews and has the audacity to cover their title, claiming to be a Programmer Analyst. Where's the professionalism? While one review does not determine the strength of an organization, the ability to voice the reality is paramount on Glassdoor and the reviews speak for themselves. If you doubt the strength of the Company or integrity of the reviews...it's very easy to search LinkedIn to find people who have had worked or are working for Apptricity. If you doubt the integrity of my review, please feel free to reach out to people on LinkedIn. Even just randomly call the company and ask to speak to someone.

Cons

Please read all the reviews, don't buy into the employee title on the reviews that are positive. Ask to speak to current employees and search for former employees on LinkedIn, reach out to them before making a decision. Don't take my word alone... The reality is that the company spends so much time trying to recover from bad PR and Employee Reviews that they've lost sight of fixing the problems. As you see in the positive responses, they are all sales/marketing pitch driven to cover up the truth. It's a sad day when you ignore the truth and even more sad when you have to respond to multiple reviews that present a disillusioned version of the truth. The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing, but expecting different results.
