Vantaggi
Cutting edge cloud technologies. Very well-known clients. Appirio uses the solutions they implement. Smart people who share their knowledge and experience freely. Good name in the industry. I would still recommend Appirio as an employer to a friend, as it is a great addition to the resume and an enormous learning opportunity.
Svantaggi
Culture has eroded over the years. Part of this is due to growth, but there is a sense that Appirio has gone corporate, with little concern for the individual. People who were at the heart of the company have gone elsewhere or have been left behind in terms of promotions or salary increases. One needs to be part of the inner circle to advance. Nobody used to care about titles, but recently there has been an explosion of VPs and Directors. Then came the restructuring and some layoffs. Makes you wonder if they are getting ready for a sale. Salary increases are very uneven across the company and not at the level the market offers. If you are in it for the money, look elsewhere.
