I liked the ambience in general. The feeling of working for a big company as most of the content writing, copyediting services are relatively smaller ones. On time salaries, good food, hygiene etc are plus points of working with big firms.

Dislikes

... that I have scored the highest. They also commended my performance in the test. The HR offered me a okayish salary and I said Yes. Everything was decided and the HR gave me the joining date and also told me that she will be sending me offer letter. I didn't receive any offer letter and so I showed up directly on the joining date. I waited and sat there for a couple of hours after which an HR executive called me to tell that the manager I have previously worked with has given a negative feedback for me and so they can't proceed with the hiring. This was ridiculous on so many terms: 1. For the 4 months I worked with Aptara, I worked with utmost dedication and perfection too. I can present appreciation notes by my seniors as testimony that my performance was quite up to the mark. 2. I did have an argument with a senior once but that got resolved soon. The senior took it personally and for seven months he had borne his grudge against me- so much so to extort my job after such a period of time. 3. Ludicrous how his personal opinion mattered after 7 months and not my excellent score and performance in the test and office while I worked with them. I have heard this many, many times that there is lot of politics going on in Aptara. I never believed in any of that until it happened with me.

Job security, growth, learning, work environment, work life balance are thing to look forward to when working here. I am part of a supportive team that produces high quality books for global client base.

Dislikes

Trainings, salary upraisals, politics and innovation are some factors I heard are not satisfactory.
