Pros

The technology stack is pretty good, and it's been a good place for junior developers to learn the trade. There are still some good people here, but for how much longer? I will say working here helped further my career.

Cons

There's quite a bit I could put here, but I'll try to hit the highlights. First, the turnover rate is outrageous. It's possible anyone who interviews you for a job here won't be around when you start. Also, those peoples' duties never get transitioned, leaving a big gap in the team. It's incredibly unstable and you'd do well to look elsewhere. A big con for me was working for people I considered unethical. Yes, they do the normal over-promise/under-deliver routine of many small software companies, but they also outright steal. The company was recently caught and penalized for pirating software. And yes, this is after Apptricity sued the federal government for the exact same thing. So clearly they knew piracy was illegal and chose to do so anyway. Do you want to work for a software company that steals software? One of the most common complaints you'll find in these reviews is management, and this one is no different. The lack of leadership here makes me wonder how the place has kept its doors open. Expectations are also wildly inconsistent. Some people are expected to work, while others can just say "it's too hard" and get their assignments handed over to someone more competent. That's probably why a lot of those competent people are walking out the door. Finally, benefits are terrible. Health insurance costs too much and covers too little. There's a 401(k), but Apptricity matches a whopping 0%, making it fairly worthless. There's no bonus structure outside of the executives (the same ones that just lost millions for pirating software). Vacation/sick time are pretty standard, however.

Pros

Overall, it's been a great experience and opportunity with a strong emphasis on equality and fairness. I appreciate the open-door policy with management which makes it easy to voice concerns or seek guidance.

Cons

I think the company should hire more employees.

Pros

The people besides the CEO are pretty nice. And I hear that if you work in other departments it's better. The ice machine is good.

Cons

The CEO is a nut case. The rumor is that he's trying to sell the company for ages but can't find a buyer. It's fine if you work in dev but if you are thinking of joining sales I would run in the opposite direction. No raises, no commission.
