Pros

There is absolutely nothing worth praising about this place.

Cons

The superiors at Apex Leaders are a complete disgrace. The so-called leaders are cold, careless, and detached, showing zero concern for their employees. They make terrible decisions that lead to constant chaos and then shamelessly dump the blame on everyone else.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to read about the negative experience you had. It sounds like your time here may have been during a challenging period of high turnover we experienced a few years ago. We took that feedback seriously and have made significant cultural and structural changes since then. We've focused heavily on building a more supportive and collaborative environment. For example, we established several employee-led committees (including one for Culture and another for DEIB) to ensure everyone has a voice in shaping our direction. We also restructured roles to give team members more autonomy and break down the silos that could cause frustration. These changes have made a real difference. We've seen a significant drop in voluntary turnover, and our most recent eNPS score is 48 (compared to an industry average of 14). We were also honored to be named a Top Workplace for 2024 and 2025, an award based entirely on confidential employee feedback about our culture. We wish your experience had been better, and we are committed to continuing the progress we've made.

Pros

Apex is a great place to work with benefits that are hard to beat (almost 5 weeks of PTO, employer-paid health insurance, and a 6-week paid sabbatical after 5 years of service)! Leadership has been flexible and understanding, while offering great mentorship and support. The culture is fast-paced and rewarding, with constant opportunities to give your input, make changes, and learn new skills. Employees are encouraged to lean into their individual strengths and take ownership of projects and initiatives that they care about. The people here like to work hard. There is a high standard for excellence and a sense that everyone wants to succeed and put their best foot forward. At the same time, the company culture prioritizes having fun, getting to know your colleagues, and acknowledging what's going on in each others' personal lives.

Cons

It's a fast-paced environment and a smaller team, so you'll always be busy. This creates a lot of excitement and opportunity, but could potentially overwhelming for those who prefer a slow pace of work.

Pros

- Great work-life balance and a really supportive environment. - Employee feedback loops are excellent. Management genuinely asks for suggestions every quarter, and these are discussed in quarterly planning meetings. - The company culture here has genuinely transformed for the better, (especially compared to some of the older reviews you might see). The team has worked incredibly hard to build a positive workplace, with initiatives like our DEI and Professional Development committees, and focus groups for our Employee Net Promoter Score reviews to discuss feedback and decide on new initiatives. - When I was considering joining, I was initially concerned about some of the old Glassdoor reviews. After being here for over a year, I can confidently say those old allegations couldn't be further from the truth. - We're a full-time remote company, which offers great flexibility. - Benefits are great, including generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and a 6-week paid sabbatical after 5, 10, 15 (and so on) years of service. - The people here are truly the best. Everyone is helpful and genuinely wants you to succeed.

Cons

- Since it's a smaller company, you'll need to be comfortable wearing a lot of different hats. - It's a very innovative and entrepreneurial, which might not be the right fit for everyone. - Some processes are still evolving as we grow.
