Pros

APT presents an incredible number of growth opportunities for recent college graduates, as the Business Consultant role presents you with a lot of responsibility across a broad array of tasks. Depending on the clients priorities and the project, you may work a lot with data (the company teaches you SQL), lead an analysis on the impact of store cannibalization within the APT software, conduct business interviews with your client, travel to your client site for presentations, help engineers develop new or existing products, or run in-person training sessions. Not only are your responsibilities diverse, however you also have the opportunity to work on different clients from different verticals, which gives you exposure to a broad variety of industries and their application of data analytics. The company really prides itself in taking care of its employees, too. There's a game room with foosball, game consoles, table tennis, etc, in addition to a TON of free food.

Cons

The main con of work at APT is that the hours can be demanding. Typically, most APT employees work a minimum of 50 hours per week. However, most weeks a first year or second year Business Consultant work 60+ hours per week. That said, this is due in large part to the growth of the company. There are simply too many clients and projects, with too few people to be sufficiently staffed across all teams.

Pros

Lots of processes, which is helpful when starting a new position. HR processes, training processes,new equipment processes etc. HR makes you feel welcome. I had several red flags though during the Onboarding which should have made me think twice.

Cons

So many but during start process it was clear there is very little regard for employees and trying to work within their timelines so as to ensure a smooth start process. As example, I was made a written offer, which I accepted. They told me they would follow up w paperwork start date training in NY etc etc. I then gave my 2 week notice at my job, thinking I'd be starting within a couple/few weeks. That was April I didn't end up starting until the end of JULY!!! Three months without a paycheck - unbelievable. They kept giving excuses, trying to firm up the date, training date was delayed, internal reorg caused delay etc. it put me and my family in the worst financial position and they didn't seem to take it seriously at all. I can go on and on, multiple experiences like this. Boss that hired me was in another Dept by the time I started. Replacement boss was a nightmare. Interviewed and was hired for one role (my area of expertise), then entire job description and duties changed by the time I started. Left in the first year. Worst job experience I've had in 15 years in payments industry. I'm assuming my experience was not typical and all of the planets lined up in the worst way because it seemed like it could have been a great place with great Oppy. I did meet some very nice and talented people but very odd environment in general.
