Pros
Fantastic company to work for. I've been with ABT for almost 8 years and I have experienced the ups and downs of a company that has grown from a few people all the way up to 60+ employees.
Professionally:
ABT is a fast-paced environment that provides constant opportunities to learn different platforms, languages, and technologies, as well as advance your skill set. The bar is set high, but that's a great thing. I haven't worked along someone that didn't want to go the extra mile to make something better.
Culture:
This is the backbone of the company. I've never had a job that felt more like a family. Jon Jordan (CEO) puts a tremendous effort into investing in the employees and is genuinely concerned about their well-being. ABT understands the work-hard/play-hard mentality. Some benefits include: Friday lunches, game room, generous PTO, bikes, work from home, Summer hours, company events.
Management:
Due to a recent shift in leadership, our management team has never been stronger. They are engaged in the future growth of the company, but don't do so behind closed doors anymore. Our voices are heard and the decisions reflect that.
Cons
ABT hit a rough patch over the last 2 or so years causing a spike in turnover. The focus had shifted away from the culture and well-being of its employees to corporate-like mandates. A recent change in leadership, though, has brought ABT back to its roots and is no longer an issue.
Time tracking will always be a negative part of agency life, but the new shift in leadership has also redirected our focus to quality. Time tracking is no longer such a sore point.
