Pros

Best company to start a career as a AEM developer as all are internal projects. Good exposure in understanding AEM. Regular visit to on-site depends upon the project and technology. Exposure to New tools in a very short period. Good support from co-workers and regular training sessions on the latest technologies. Good work culture and flexible working hours depends upon the project.

Cons

The worst leadership and management ever seen...... Playing very bad politics on contract employees. No timings for full time employees. Will have a pressure in the project if it isn't managed well from the beginning. Company lacks behind in identifying the talented people. There were lot of talented people in the company, everyone quit. I initially felt stupids why are they leaving. But now I realize. Most of all permanent employees are their relatives of management. shows lot of difference between full time employees and contract employees. Work pressure is only on Contract employees. No value of work. Such a rude politics.....

Pros

I have been working at APT as a software engineer straight out of college and couldn't be happier. Both working at APT and living in Arlington have been a very natural transition from the college experience from me. The culture is young and active. I am surrounded by engineers who are as / more intelligent than I am, and I definitely believe I am learning at a faster pace than in college, even. The work-life balance is fantastic for engineers. Being involved in a community where everybody is motivated affords relaxed policies for leaving work early or working from home; in a company of enthusiastic employees, you don't have to police things like this. Compensation is great and the growth potential is even greater!

Cons

While I wholeheartedly support working at APT as an engineer, I have heard from my business consultant friends that the work-life balance advertised does not match reality. While they say this is true for most companies, I'm a bit disheartened to hear APT is not upfront about the realities of being a BC.
