Pros

Some of the benefits they offered were decent enough. I particularly liked the health insurance they offered to all of us.

Cons

The people at the top clearly have a biased attitude. They pass on racist and sexist remarks as a joke and try to hide their true faces behind fake smiles and little lies. It’s awful to be at the receiving end of their biased behavior. I wouldn’t recommend this workplace to someone with self-respect who can’t tolerate rude behavior.

Thank you for your feedback. We are very concerned by your comments, particularly the allegations of racist and sexist remarks. We want to state clearly that this type of behavior is not tolerated and has absolutely no place at Apex Leaders. While this review seems to describe an experience from several years ago, we have since formalized many policies to ensure we are fostering a respectful, inclusive, and equitable environment for everyone. A key part of this has been establishing an employee-led DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) committee, which works directly with leadership to guide our culture and policies. We have also implemented transparent compensation bands based on market data to ensure fair and unbiased pay. Our team's most recent feedback reflects this positive shift, noting our collaborative and supportive culture as a primary strength. Our commitment to this has been reflected in our recognition as a Top Workplace for both 2024 and 2025—an award based entirely on employee feedback—as well as our 97% employee retention rate. We are sorry you had this experience and are dedicated to ensuring our workplace is one where every team member feels respected and valued.

Pros

Apex is a great place to work with benefits that are hard to beat (almost 5 weeks of PTO, employer-paid health insurance, and a 6-week paid sabbatical after 5 years of service)! Leadership has been flexible and understanding, while offering great mentorship and support. The culture is fast-paced and rewarding, with constant opportunities to give your input, make changes, and learn new skills. Employees are encouraged to lean into their individual strengths and take ownership of projects and initiatives that they care about. The people here like to work hard. There is a high standard for excellence and a sense that everyone wants to succeed and put their best foot forward. At the same time, the company culture prioritizes having fun, getting to know your colleagues, and acknowledging what's going on in each others' personal lives.

Cons

It's a fast-paced environment and a smaller team, so you'll always be busy. This creates a lot of excitement and opportunity, but could potentially overwhelming for those who prefer a slow pace of work.

Pros

- Great work-life balance and a really supportive environment. - Employee feedback loops are excellent. Management genuinely asks for suggestions every quarter, and these are discussed in quarterly planning meetings. - The company culture here has genuinely transformed for the better, (especially compared to some of the older reviews you might see). The team has worked incredibly hard to build a positive workplace, with initiatives like our DEI and Professional Development committees, and focus groups for our Employee Net Promoter Score reviews to discuss feedback and decide on new initiatives. - When I was considering joining, I was initially concerned about some of the old Glassdoor reviews. After being here for over a year, I can confidently say those old allegations couldn't be further from the truth. - We're a full-time remote company, which offers great flexibility. - Benefits are great, including generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and a 6-week paid sabbatical after 5, 10, 15 (and so on) years of service. - The people here are truly the best. Everyone is helpful and genuinely wants you to succeed.

Cons

- Since it's a smaller company, you'll need to be comfortable wearing a lot of different hats. - It's a very innovative and entrepreneurial, which might not be the right fit for everyone. - Some processes are still evolving as we grow.
