Apptricity Corporation

I was grateful that Apptricity gave me an opportunity to work with them.The interview process was very positive. I was excited at first for what I thought would be a great experience. 

However, once I started working there it was not as fulfilling as I was expecting. There was no new hire orientation. As a newly hired employee it was difficult to get to know anyone and I had to figure things out on my own. There are lots of cubicles and people tend to stay to themselves. There are some nice people at Apptricity, but the tone of some of the Managers and other Developers was very blunt and condescending. There was a high employee turn over.  Instead of feeling like you can grow and develop, if you struggled to understand something or had a question you would be talked to like you were an idiot. Instead of feeling like you have support you spend time questioning yourself. 

The computers and devices used for programming were old and your request for any kind of upgrade or additional needed equipment would be overlooked. The wireless network was often down or slow so it was difficult to test or demo your work. 

They are trying to improve things by having more company events and providing fresh fruit in the mornings. They have also made some changes in management. It might be getting better but I was never that happy.  Overall, it was disappointing.

I would never recommend working for this company.  While there are a lot of really good, hard working employees that work at Apptricity, that fact could never offset the negativity of the CEO.  He is only out to make as much money as HE can...by standing on the backs of his employees.  He doesn't care about anyone but himself.  I have seen him steal deals from salesmen simply because he didn't want to pay a commission.  His attitude has the "trickle down" effect and causes the other executives in the company to have an "I don't care" attitude.  They know (or find out shortly after being hired) that no matter how much they care or try to do it will always be shot down by the CEO.  So everyone ends up not caring.  The benefits are expensive, the PTO is a good policy except you are made to feel so guilty when you request time off that most people never use their PTO.  The CEO is such a micro-manager, that he has installed cameras in the office so he can see where you are and what you are doing at all times. He rescinded the work from home policy because he never believed that people were actually working from home...he always believes the worst of everyone.  Do not waste your time with this company - it will never change because the CEO will never change.

This is a family owned business and runs like it. They like to think they've got million dollar contracts banging down their door, but the truth is they're little more than ambulance chasers on the corporate level. The CEO notices that a technology word is trending on Twitter, or a visitor from some big company visited our website ONCE, then all hands scurry to repackage their products tailored JUST for those that imagined client. When in actuality, they pull these out of thin air. They promote based on butt kissing and not merit, and demote and fire if you ask for anytime off whatsoever. They have a documented 40% employee turnover rate and no signed of slowing. The owner and his brother are frequently scared of people "stealing time" or "not carrying as much as they do". Sadly, the people there DO care and DO want to do a great job but little direction, micromanagement and the frustrations of the job soon outweigh the most dedicated little employee.

I joined the company excited to make an impact and quickly identified opportunities to improve their Salesforce processes. Within just 26 days, I implemented solutions that brought structure, improved workflows, and added real value to the team.

Unfortunately, my role was eliminated shortly after those contributions. The experience left me feeling undervalued and, at times, used—especially after investing significant effort, including working beyond standard hours to ensure the success of the improvements.

While I’m proud of what I was able to accomplish in a short period, I would encourage the organization to take a more thoughtful approach to workforce planning and how they support and retain talent.

Future employees should seek clarity around role stability before joining.

The workplace culture is zero. It is not a fun and collaborative work environment. The minions have desks in a bullpen. Leads, management and the CEO's offspring get an office. The CFO runs around like a chicken with his head cut off. They want everyone in the office between 08:30 and 17:30 unless you are certain individuals. There are a couple of people who get up at 04:00 and do some tasks but they are still expected to stay until 17:30. You are constantly having to prioritize because the management gives unrealistic times to clients. People feel guilty if they need to take a break. The CEO does not trust his employees to work a hybrid type schedule. It is difficult to focus in the bullpen. 

Possibly the worst work environment ever known.  The company is on a death spiral under the control of founder and owner.  Leadership team remaining cowers down to tyranical beat down.  Only in it for himself and could care less of anyone else.

Known for it's below market saleries, lack of any kind of onboarding and no career development unless you can stomach the cronyism, mindlessness and bellicose beratement needed to even palate a work day without controlled narcotics.

Gloom, dispair, artificiality...are words that come to mind.  Just do yourself a favor and just say he!! no.

I was 23 when I joined the company and was quite surprised to find out that they offered great insurance for us. Some companies seem to cut corners wherever they can nowadays but I was very grateful I did not have to worry about that part of my life especially with dental and vision included. But beside this fact, it was always a pleasure to work here. I learned a lot from them, especially from the CEO who answered all my questions and provided great coaching. While I outgrew the positionI started in, I credit them for teaching me so many transferable skills and for the opportunity to grow within the company.

Being a Director is not an easy job, but when you are working in a great company it makes things a little smoother because everyone's goals are aligned. After spending 13 years here, I've been away for a couple and looking back now, this place really was unique.

Great benefits across the board (i.e. medical, vision, dental, 401(k), career growth) which really shows upper management’s continued commitment to attract and retain top talent.

So long as you don't get near management.

My typically work day was short meetings and dealing with expected and mapped out issues. And so long as progress was made, people were happy. That said... don't expect opinions to be respected and even when they say there's a choice in something, it's already been made and your input will be found inadequate for making any changes to it.
