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.

Mastercard Response

Thank you for posting this review, it’s great to hear you have had such an enjoyable experience at APT. We’re so glad that you’ve felt your voice is being heard and that APT has acted upon your suggestions. Being responsive to feedback from our employees is a top priority for APT and continues to be a focus as we grow. Our employees have great ideas!
