Pros

As someone who joined APT right out of right out college, after considering other consulting careers, I like APT because I truly believe in the data-driven decision making we enable our clients to do. The culture is really great. It's a young, casual, and very friendly environment. Beyond that, I've found that my coworkers are truly invested in my professional development, and are always willing to offer advice on ways I can grow. You're given a lot of independence and responsibility, which can be a little intimidating at first, but is also an exciting challenge. Within your first few months, you're able to take on a variety of different rolls on each projects, and gain exposure to many different industries. As the company expands, there are projects in many new industries, from the public sector to pharma.

Cons

The work life balance could be better. The workload will vary throughout the year, but there are several times throughout the year when there is a lot to be done across many of your projects.

Pros

- Flexible work style and benefits (can work from home if necessary, ample amount of time off)

Cons

- Bureaucratic: "overly concerned with procedure at the expense of efficiency or common sense" - Hierarchy is obvious and very strongly tied to your significance - "Open Door Policy" is non-existent with upper management - Company acquisitions do not allow for enough time and resources to properly implement/transition - Minimal room for input and discussion

Pros

Fantastic CEO. The company embraces diversity. Excellent growth and bright future. Reasonable work/life balance.

Cons

It is a very flat organization and as such, promotions are difficult. Some people stay in their jobs forever, and why wouldn't they? It limits opportunity for those trying to come up the ranks.
