IDX: 0 TOT: 9
How's the work life balance at Apcera?
Top Employee Response
My experience is that work/life balance at Apcera is quite good, above average for Silicon Valley. The company provides yoga and meditation classes, on site massages, and has no limit (no accrual) vacation plan among other benefits.
Varies wildly depending on team. Some teams have hilariously light schedules and low productivity while field teams are being flogged until morale improves
Does Apcera have any remote positions?
Yes, there are a handful of development engineers that work remotely. Also, most all of the sales team (account managers and sales engineers) work remotely.
What are your coworkers at Apcera like?
Top Employee Response
Mostly a very strong group of people with a mix of technical and soft skills
What interview questions does Apcera ask?
Top Employee Response
Varies wildly by role, but pretty standard behavioral stuff related to past experience: Talk about a time you { failed, succeeded, worked cross functionally, solved a difficult problem, learned something, etc.}
What's the interview process like at Apcera?

Pretty solid interview process driven by the hiring manager with a mix of technical and behavioral interviews
What part of Apcera's business is growing fastest? What part is having difficulties?
Top Employee Response
The technology is strong, but sales are limited
What do people at Apcera think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
The CEO is a technical genius, but not a leader or senior executive. He would be best suited to leading a prototype focused Skunkworks style team in a large company or an PARC style innovation team
What's the company culture like at Apcera?
Company culture is one of the best things about working at Apcera. There is a strong focus on work-life balance, rewards and recognition, and excellent benefits. There are also regular catered meals and a wide range of snacks and drinks.
