I was hired by an excellent team when the company was still at its growing stage. People then were highly professional, considerate, matured and sensible. As the company started growing in India sudden decisions were made to change the people at the top (in fact topmost for India) which is alright if it ensured better growth and reputation building for the org. My overall exp rating is purely based on my initial days at the company.

...lave. At the time of joining the hike is fancy but once you join you are doomed. No decent hike, no decent bonus (purely because of the incapability of the TOPMOST person in the ladder to push for his teams), no transport allowance (its like govt schemes - its a part of your ration card but you are not eligible to get it), no learning and development, no training programs for betterment, no proper structure in the process, HR team is highly inaccessible (the HR Head lady is the best 'yes boss yes boss' kind of person. She is very rude and never has any conversations with any employee until they resign. She is the most unfit person for that role) and no work life balance. We are happy to sacrifice our time and invest our knowledge in the betterment of the company but in return we also expect decent hikes (HR team doesnt even give us the rationale behind the poor hikes despite being top raters) and development. There's no IJP, there's no cross functional training/movement. The SOLE reason for all this is hiring some incapable leaders at the top without even analysing their capacity. Head of India, Head of HR, Head of FR - all are a total waste. I sincerely wish they change their approach towards their people and make drastic changes in the benefits of the people otherwise just like how they quickly grew, they will see their downfall too. People micro manage, push it to their 1 or 2 downs but can never say a NO to their leaders. The culture of 'doing whatever the boss says' must stop and should be approached with better rationale. Leaders of the initial days of my career in Apex made me stay until the time I did, otherwise I wouldve left long back. I hope the people deciding to join Apex re-considers their decision.

Some teams / don't have much work and you can get work life balance.

Dislikes

Mostly teams have micro management, No job security, no increament and bonus especially if you are on target, pathetic management in some teams/ department. You have to go to office daily to your designated office no matter you are alone in office from that location (you will be alone in entire office from your department but you have to do WFO) with no reason.

Unethical business. Each level different management. No uniform rules. No growth in future. Promotions to favourites no matter how much you work hard. Some people getting promoted each year some never. Hike is poor max 3.5% in year. It's a big red flag and trap. Company is blacklisted in many organisations. BIG RED FLAG if you are joining. They have internal grudges between management as well. There is group of people. Despite different locations they work with them and think in their favour.

Dislikes

There is no policies in benefits of employees. Salary is not fair. They have no standard structure in their hirerchy. I got cheated by HR while joining explaining wrong hirerchy. If any questions or concerns taken to management you will get rude response which has no logic. They is no professionalism. Company culture is poor.
