Pros

Great place to feel like a valued member of the team, opportunity for growth, positive working environment, get to work with accomplished and motivated professionals

Cons

Since the company is still new-ish, career tracks can seem a bit blurry, especially if you were not a campus recruit, but ultimately, this is a positive working environment.

Pros

- Opportunity to work with incredibly smart and well-rounded people, (which can be intimidating at first but is ultimately a great plus) - Extensive ability to interact with colleagues across functional areas including consulting/client services, product management, engineering, sales, as well as with the firm's senior leadership - and recently colleagues from MasterCard - Job includes a variety of tasks that keep things interesting: running analysis with our software, drafting articles for publications, supporting the launch of a new product, accelerating sales processes with research or custom materials - Incredible opportunity to contribute directly to the growth of the company - your voice is definitely heard and your ideas can turn into real change - Benefits are great including health, dental, $50/month for fitness (ie gym membership), 3 weeks vacation at entry level, lots of FREE FOOD in the office - Fun work environment - I sometimes feel like i'm still in college balancing academics, social events, extracurrircular clubs, intramurals etc. since there are plenty of opportunities to interact with new co-workers on rec sports teams, APT's "data dive" or hackathon, company outings, starting year "class events" etc. -- not to mention that the vast majority of employees came to APT right out of college which contributes to the unique work environment

Cons

APT puts a lot of trust in its new employees right out of school, which is awesome, but can also be a source of stress. It takes some adjusting to learn to appropriately manage time and workload. Within marketing, the team gets requests from across the organization so understanding how to best triage and prioritize is key, but management is generally understanding and seeks to make sure no one is overloaded.

Pros

APT has a great working environmental for young professionals; the culture is entrepreneurial and 'techie' with a hint of corporate professionalism for good measure. The work we do at APT is VERY practical and affects the real-world. I love walking into my clients' stores and observing my surroundings to see what test cell they are in for various initiatives they are running! Because of APT's size, the feedback cycle is excellent. As an employee approaching my second year, I get to gather recurring feedback from managers, principals, and VPs on strengths and development opportunities. Working hours at APT are quite flexible. Employees have tasks assigned by various teams, and it is up to the employee to choose how and when to meet those deadlines. If you like getting your day started at 7am, go for it, if you'd rather stroll in at 10am, go for it (just get your work done on time!)

Cons

Hours. Like most consulting firms, APT is not a 9-5 job. Hours can be long at times, especially when a readout of an analysis is around the corner. Size (sometimes). Because of our size (~50 employees in San Francisco office), we still have tasks such as 'kitchen duty'. While very start-up-like, I'd prefer not to have a task on my calendar telling me it's my day to run the dishwasher this week. This may change soon as we continue to grow.
