Apptio

Worked at Apptio for 2 years.

Pay: It is according to market rate in the Seattle/Bellevue area. If you are good at what you do, then you can easily make much more.

Free parking.

Technology: Apptio is a pure technology company. Engineers would like working here. They are not afraid to try new things and keep themselves updated with the latest technology trends.

People: I think it has some of the best engineers in the industry. They are genuinely working to take Apptio to the next level. The work culture is very good. People don't interfere in your work; you are given the freedom and the opportunities to progress in your career. People are fast in what they do and provide help if needed. Everyone from an intern to principal developers is expected to produce results, and if you are not performing, you are fired. I think this is the reason Apptio is one of the few companies where the performance bar is very high, and they have maintained that over the years. Coming to work every day is a pleasure, and you know you will be learning something new and working on interesting problems.

Work Balance: It is not a place if you want to take it easy. Work-life balance will suffer (not sure if that's the case for all departments/teams).

Overall: A great place to work, extremely intelligent and hard-working people.

As with any company, some teams just are not performing and have below-average engineers.
