Pros
Been with Appirio for three years, and this is the most professionally engaged I've ever been at a job or with a company. The fact that it's a virtual office makes it all the more satisfying! Culture is key and building relationships with each other and our customers is what makes it work. Appirio is the first and only place I've worked where you are truly in charge of your career. If there's a need you can meet, go do it. If there's an opportunity to get involved, raise your hand. Opportunity comes when you step outside your professional comfort zone and take part in owning the company. No inner circles or old boys club. Appirio is completely transparent from company financials, sales pipeline, ongoing initiatives, etc. There's no excuse for not knowing the goings-on of Appirio!
Kontras
Sometimes things get crazy just like with any fast-growing company. Continue to stay focused on the long-term. No 401(K) match, yet. Focus on culture sometimes trump compensation, especially compared to more aggressively-paying competitors.
