Pros

- Free Cricket match tickets. - Very often team lunches. - Free B1 visa. Only visa though. Trip is subject to terms and conditions.

Cons

- Pathetic middle management. All they care about is praising the senior management, will never care to take your point of view in consideration. - They use all lingo like we are Agile, we are flexible. All are false talks, don't trust them. You won’t be part of any grooming, and when you ask questions, you will be said to Google it. Yup you read it right. - They have a team in US to handle the UI work. Better leave the work to them, they don't like deviation from their practices (which may be good for them). But if they give any comments, even general ones, oh boy, the middle management at Bangalore will make your life hell. Everything is considered to be best practice. No documents, though, to outline the best practice. No one is going to explain them to you either. - Senior management in Bangalore doesn't engage with new employees. - No documents what so ever, and no one is interested to even create one. And no, you cannot ask questions. - They say they are established company, but the culture is still very much start-up-ish. No, not in terms of work, but in terms of arrogance.

Pros

There are a lot of exceptional people at Apigee. There are also people who aren't quite there yet, but most of them are young and by being here, they'll definitely be exceptional in their field in the future. If you're an Engineer, you'll be tasked with challenging problems. The problems, in my experience, have been fun and exciting. I remember during my interview, my interviewer said something that really stuck with me and enticed me into joining and that was "We're trying to solve the problems of the future". For context during the interview, "problems" referred to technical problems, but in many ways Apigee as a whole is trying to solve other problems in the world. If there's anything that you need in order to do your job better, you can definitely send a casual message to either the front desk (people ops) or IT. There's also a vending machine with common accessories. Parking is a breeze if you manage to get access to the building's parking lot. Otherwise, it's a small walk from the other parking lot down the street. Keto/Low-carbers will not have many issues with the catered lunch selections. There's usually always options. I, however, sometimes cheat when Sushi day comes along. Mostly everyone's calendar is public so you can spy Table tennis table and billiards in the gym

Cons

You might gain weight here if you aren't strongly willed when 11:30am comes around, but even the healthy options are tasty
