Apigee reviews about "culture"

- Pathetic middle management. All they care about is praising the senior management, will never care to take your point of view in consideration. - They use all lingo like we are Agile, we are flexible. All are false talks, don't trust them. You won’t be part of any grooming, and when you ask questions, you will be said to Google it. Yup you read it right. - They have a team in US to handle the UI work. Better leave the work to them, they don't like deviation from their practices (which may be good for them). But if they give any comments, even general ones, oh boy, the middle management at Bangalore will make your life hell. Everything is considered to be best practice. No documents, though, to outline the best practice. No one is going to explain them to you either. - Senior management in Bangalore doesn't engage with new employees. - No documents what so ever, and no one is interested to even create one. And no, you cannot ask questions. - They say they are established company, but the culture is still very much start-up-ish. No, not in terms of work, but in terms of arrogance.

Self directed folks most successful

- Difference in pays. There was no benchmarking. Few people with half the experience were paid double the salary compared to double experienced folks - Engineering team at India saw confused leadership, less hikes, plans without goals. - Some bigshots were just engaged in big talks. - Bad experience for patent application. Just to submit for patent application, leadership spent 1 year. The complete submission process was driven by me. - Once an employee quits organisation, the company does not bother about checking the status of the patent application. Being the inventor of the patent, I was curious about the status, but company's patent process handling person gave, none of you business now and do not try contacting us in future, kind of reply.

You must be very self motivated and self-directed. We expect that employees will seek out context and identify ways to have impact within their teams but also across the company. If you are someone looking for a highly structured environment and/or someone that requires lots of day-to-day direction and hand holding, You will quickly feel lost at Apigee. You must be self aware and check your ego at the door. It’s the only place I’ve ever worked at where I can have days that I’ve felt incredibly productive yet I’m still feeling like I fell further behind. No job is too small regardless of what your career experience has been, so get ready to get your hands dirty — there is never a shortage of tough and interesting problems to solve, but fortunately we are surrounded by lots of smart and thoughtful people to help.

* Nothing so far, Apigee is best place to work.

For someone used to strongly structured companies, might be overwhelming. Lack of technology innovation for company products.

politics in upper management, tech was a mess

Because of the type of culture and environment we have, it gets really difficult when people leave, and it can be discouraging at times.

Being customer focus is not enough since there is a need to be ahead of what the customer need/want, There are some cliques (technical/nontechnical, new hire/old hire, previous company) that in term could create some problems, Sometimes acting too much at strategic consultant with high vision but no path to execution.
