API Healthcare Reviews

developers and qa are in denial about how good the tech industry is outside of their bubble because it threatens their comfort zone architects dont have any unique skills transferrable to modern software companies because api Healthcare does not innovate upper mgmt asks employees to stop writing glassdoor reviews and says 'trust your mgr and give them feedback directly. trust us. trust us.' but they are forgetting their own accountability training: experiences have led to the belief in the truth that mgrs look after themselves first. problems with the team are assumed to be developer's problem instead of mgmt hack days are really just ways to get devs to do stuff on the product roadmap, not innovate in denial about the fact that they don't really do agile anymore terrible office- an entire floor of a large building filled with male engineers all sharing two toilets. so much pee on feet always. desperately needs subject matter experts, but experts only willing to do contract work because they can smell the stink that is api healthcare from a mile away and take comfort in the fact that their time there is temporary while getting paid alot QA department is not engineers by any standard and thrive off meetings and talking fancy devs and qa are in denial about how HORRIBLY under market they are being paid app quality sucks mobile app quality sucks even harder teams never heard of any JS library besides jQuery, ExtJS, or angular. that is their idea of modern- and even then no one really knows what they are doing with any of those. wat? toxic interpersonal problems hr violations up the wazoo every day

Almost too many to list here. Minorities need not apply. It was certainly very uncomfortable for this one. Every single day that I worked there I felt like an alien, and only a few people even attempted to connect with me, although I was always trying. Hartford is not Milwaukee, and to be a person of color in that environment is very challenging. There is favoritism galore at API. Those who have been there for the long haul are not open to sharing ideas and concepts with newer employees. This creates an atmosphere of "high school peer groups" mentality. Grow old very quickly, and caused me to clam up and keep to myself for fear of being shot down once again. Not enough resources to handle the work load. Lower salaries than the norm in Milwaukee, with the expectation that 50-60 hours a week will be done by all salaried employees. Management was horrible at API. Very often my concerns with my area of responsibility were ignored, and when I would try to handle things on my own I was informed that my way was the wrong way time and time again. Many managers there seem to be only concerned with how they look, which is the opposite of good leadership. Low, rock bottom salaries with the expectation that massive hours put in is the norm. Family life...forget about it.
