Pros

Technically competent teams working on a visionary product. Apcera has been trying to fit their idea into the market with little success.

Cons

For a company that touts innovation there are far too many managers, and a serious problem with nepotism resulting in out of touch, aged out leadership. This drives frustration with ever changing direction and lack of reasonable workflows. A CEO who disengaged long ago that allows middle managers to make bad decisions resulting in tremendous turnover and loss of talent.

Pros

Was an Interesting product to have a few years ago prior to Kubernetes. The admin staff makes the company a fun place to be. Great benefits Met many great people working there.

Cons

CEO basically stopped being involved in the company and let many VP's screw things up. Very high turnover rate - During my time there, I seen people announce their resignation about every two weeks. Spending too much time worrying about the term "Nano-segmentation" like it is such a great thing that nobody else is doing. Over the past year, competitors developed the same product and features more or less and eventually became more innovative for free.
