Pros
What sets Aptitive apart from other consulting firms is how much they care about YOU - both professionally AND personally! - and respect you. This is a firm that has an outstanding set of Benefits - Pay 100% of Health, Dental, vision premiums, Unlimited PTO, $100 helping hands monthly credit, cell phone and internet reimbursement, continuous learning through a variety of training platforms, and many more. Not only are these the best benefits, but it is also a great place to work with a variety of tasks in my everyday work life; from strategy to development to QA testing roles. All in all, Aptitive is a wondrous place to call home for my career; we all think about opening our own firm from time to time and think about what it would look like, well my ideal firm is Aptitive. They encompass all of the values and ethics that I strive for in my work life and truly allow for a fantastic work/life balance. Another awesome thing: this is a small firm with a flat organizational structure which allows me to learn and grow from an A+ group of co-workers. The Big 3 (co-founders of Aptitive) are all available anytime I need them and I can slack (online communication tool we use) them to initiate a conversation about needing a day off, help with a presentation or how best to manage the new account we have won.
Cons
As with any consulting firm, there are projects I get staffed on that are not the most exciting but that is simply part of the game; all in all there are far fewer "boring" projects and many more exciting ones. Being a small firm they are still growing and figuring things out; in time, the flat organizational structure will become more hierarchical but I do not foresee this being a roadblock to communication and openness with the Big 3 and co-workers across all levels of the organization.
