High Ceiling for Flexible, Innovative, Rockstars - Anonymous employee Apigee Employee Review

Pros

Apigee is a place for rockstars to make their own. It is a company where people work on the projects they want to work on, and contribute in the manner that best fits them. It's a results driven company that sits in an incredible growth space for their customers. There is a real effort to eliminate silos, titles, and hierarchy.

Cons

Your colleagues are human, and you are responsible for yourself. That combination means that you might not have shelter from someone who thinks your ideas are bad. It means that you are responsible for ensuring that you make an impact on the company (you can't depend on a manager to create your to-do list). The first few months are hard for just about everyone as they figure out the various nuances of operating in a company as flat as Apigee, and for some people Apigee is not a good fit.

Pros

There are a lot of exceptional people at Apigee. There are also people who aren't quite there yet, but most of them are young and by being here, they'll definitely be exceptional in their field in the future. If you're an Engineer, you'll be tasked with challenging problems. The problems, in my experience, have been fun and exciting. I remember during my interview, my interviewer said something that really stuck with me and enticed me into joining and that was "We're trying to solve the problems of the future". For context during the interview, "problems" referred to technical problems, but in many ways Apigee as a whole is trying to solve other problems in the world. If there's anything that you need in order to do your job better, you can definitely send a casual message to either the front desk (people ops) or IT. There's also a vending machine with common accessories. Parking is a breeze if you manage to get access to the building's parking lot. Otherwise, it's a small walk from the other parking lot down the street. Keto/Low-carbers will not have many issues with the catered lunch selections. There's usually always options. I, however, sometimes cheat when Sushi day comes along. Mostly everyone's calendar is public so you can spy Table tennis table and billiards in the gym

Cons

You might gain weight here if you aren't strongly willed when 11:30am comes around, but even the healthy options are tasty
