Pros

- The opportunity to work with very intelligent people. - It's the leading technology in its niche. - The client base is also very intelligent and tech savvy. - The healthcare world and the demand for our product will grow for years to come. - High levels of mutual respect amongst colleagues. - Very good benefits packages for a company this size.

Cons

- Despite management pleas to the contrary, it's now all about the billable time, and the massive gaming we have to play to meet goals. - There is no incentive to explore and innovate outside of the very tight boundaries we work in. - The devaluing of experience through forced adherence to standard practices. - Salaries than can be 20% to 35% below market rates. - The office building is a drab, soul draining place with rows and rows of neatly ordered cubicles. There is very little collaborative space. - Most associates are salaried, which means lots of extra hours with no additional compensation. It's all free labor to the company.

Pros

API is a fast growing company in a promising market. What started out many years ago as a small, close-knit community business is rapidly growing into a large software company. For employees that remember the good old days, this is probably disconcerting. For those that are newer, it's just a great chance to catch a company on the upswing. Senior leadership is definitely committed to increasing sales - that's how a company grows. But they are also refreshingly open to change and suggestions on how to do better. The CEO is open and accessible, as is the rest of the leadership team. The company has invested heavily in agile development (scrum), and is very committed to making it successful. There are the firefighting challenges that all software companies deal with, but when the fires are put out, the process and expectations seem quite reasonable. Overall, it's a good small-ish company that is learning how to be a good big-ish company. There aren't a lot of politics to deal with, not a lot of red tape, and leadership seems open to change. That's not a bad place to work in my book.

Cons

The company commitment to customer satisfaction makes it seem like saying 'no' isn't in our vocabulary.
