Pros

Great people, lots of variety. I worked here for a long time and learned so much and met so many geat people. Seems like there are a few people that never appreciated the opportunity they had. I love my new job but leaving was one of the hardest decisions to make. I still keep in touch and hate to see people throwing stones. If you didn't like it, it's probably not the companies fault. Your not going to be happy anywhere.

Cons

Agency work, task switching, location

Pros

Lunch on Fridays and social events

Cons

Unfortunately Atlantic BT has a lot of issues, most of them are due to the lack of real experience in any organization other than Atlantic BT. The CEO hasn't really had a real job outside of Atlantic BT and it shows. He doesn't face problems head-on, time and again he has refused to listen to employee feedback, and he thinks being solution-oriented means having more social events. Meanwhile, turnover has been disgraceful, most of the leadership there have been there for so many years they have no idea what they're doing, and it's extremely disorganized as a company. The developers believe they have near-perfect skillsets but it is not the case. They are 'ok' at best. Before coming here, I had a lot of experience with developers and honestly many are much more talented then what you have at ABT. The problem is that no one is really trying to get better. There is no training or development and absolutely no managing. Since no one is actually giving anyone meaningful feedback, no one really grows as an employee. You find out frequently through the grapevine that the President is not honest with most people, and he's a people pleaser. I'm still not sure what he does. The technology that ABT works out (outside of AWS) will be obsolete soon, and no one is doing anything cutting edge. It's just a run-of-the-mill agency that's poorly managed from top to bottom.

Pros

"Free" beer...that essentially is just coming out of everyone's paycheck, anyways at the end of the day Look, there are no pros. If you want any advice on a reason I can give you to work here, I have four words for you: Do Not Work Here* * Fine, I'll give it an asterisk; everything I said above is based on current company direction with "ML" at the helm as President.

Cons

You will have absolutely no room for career growth while employed at Atlantic BT...unless...key word there, *unless* you are in a "low paying" job for your job title. You then may be eligble for promotions as a means to "justify" potential pay raises. Toxic individuals whom continue to poison the company just by their mere presence. They are essentially akin to leeches. They are sucking the money out of Atlantic BT, one large paycheck at a time, and nobody seems to realize or get that this is going on in high-level management positions for some managers (mostly higher) individuals that have no business even keeping their job, apart from seniority alone.
