Looking to land a job in management in the Bay Area and the first company I am talking to is Apttus. Anyone have feedback on the company or process?
Avoid! Their recruiting was outsourced and literally anyone who was fairly competent was hired with a low bar. Their main competitor Steel brick was acquired by Salesforce (who backed them as well oddly enough) leaving them to pivot towards azure.
That's a good point....I think SFDC is pushing them out of the ecosystem since it conflicts with their SFDC native product Steelbrick. I would avoid this company. One of my old co-workers was hired by Apttus for a director position and left under a year there
I would absolutely recommend Apttus, to someone I disliked and wished them a painful existence. It’s upsetting whats happening in San Mateo. Do your research.
Yes, I ended up interviewing and one of the execs was fairly clueless. I articulated my role at my current company three different times and he just couldn’t grasp what I did. I don’t have some odd role, it is a standard title in all companies. Dodged a bullet.
Toxic.
Do you think things are getting better?
Run
Not sure about working for them but their product nickname in CPQ space is craptus
Oh, that sucks....
