      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to work on software to address analytically challenging business problems and it is easy to understand how solving those problems directly leads to increased $$$ for companies who use our products. On the product side, people are very supportive of your personal development as a software engineer. The environment is friendly and people genuinely care about their responsibilities.

      Cons

      APT is B2B, so general understanding and visibility of what you do will not be as high as if you worked at a consumer-oriented company. Engineers wear many hats and may find themselves pulled in many directions when all projects / responsibilities (such as recruiting) flare up at once.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Get reviewed every 6-months; promotions vary from every 1.5 (very fast) to 2.5 (standard growth) years; can give feedback for the company as well as receive it. Office environment is very welcoming and collaborative. Projects are a combination of self-selected by priority and interest. There are no managers dictating work and deadlines, but a cross-functional team that determines work together. Room for creativity in daily work, and during hackathons and Idea Marketplace (up to 1/5 of an engineer's time on non-team-based projects). Focus on warm culture, connecting the engineers to users, and supporting between the departments.

      Cons

      Employee training is all internal, and engineers can go to conferences once a year - in general, I think we are missing out on some industry knowledge.
