APT a great place to work right out of college!

Pros

APT is a faced-paced environment, where the volume of leanings and career development opportunities are nearly unparalleled for students coming right out of college. As a Business Consultant, you have the ability to work with clients across a variety of industries. This provides a variety of challenges, and keeps you on your toes as you learn the ins and outs of different industries and the problems they try to solve. APT is also very committed to career development. There is a great deal of investment in training employees, and an extremely rigorous review process which allows employees to continue working on both their strengths as well as their opportunities for improvement. APT is also dedicated to taking care of employees with generous compensation and benefits. Finally, APT has a fun, collegiate, entrepreneurial culture which is an exciting and smooth transition from college life. I've formed great friendships with the people I've met here, and couldn't be happier with my choice to start my career at APT.

Cons

Sometimes the work-life balance can be challenging. Everyone has good weeks and bad weeks, as the client work can be pretty cyclical in nature. There's certainly no average work week, but hours can range from as low as 40 to as high as 60-65 during the busiest times. While the balance is challenging, fortunately the work itself is engaging enough to not make the work-life balance too painful.

Pros

Great, growing company. Flexible work and work/life balance, strong compensation, opportunity to move around. Good parental leave policy for those looking to have children, overall they try to make it easy for you to balance home life.

Cons

Leveling can be inconsistent between businesses and teams. Still catching up to the large increase in size over the past few years and working through upgrades to processes.
