Pros

Apptio will be successful because of the conviction of some long-time executives. The CEO, CFO, CMO, and CRO are top-notch. I truly believe in our visionary CEO.

And, the CMO is the most talented marketing professional I've ever seen.

Cons

It feels too corporate now. Our products are our heart and soul; let's focus on making great technology and less on "shine". HR is not to be trusted. Some of the soul of the company was lost when the former VP of People & Culture left. She was the real deal when it came to integrity and vision.

Pay & benefits: so-so. Development of employees: not good. Don't go to HR with complaints or suggestions; they're not really interested, but they bang their drum well.

Advice to Management

Remember our humble beginnings, and hold on to that. I like the early days' frugal mindset; it's what made us great.
