Pros

The idea behind the culture is awesome and there are some great engineers at APAI

Cons

The culture is really no different than most consulting firms. Feels like there is not a lot of upward mobility

Pros

Nice people...willing to train fresh college grads. There is good opportunity to do a lot of design work, I mean work-like-a-dog-type-work...not bad for a starting career.

Cons

There is zero opportunity to grow. The people are nice, but there seems to be a clique of people in management who only allow a select few to get promotions. I was prepared to work here for my entire career, until I learned that there was no growth in my salary. As a fresh college grad, my first salary was nice, but I didn't realize that the small increase each year were very tiny in comparison to other companies. They start at a nice entry level salary, but it flat-lines from there on. They work EIT's like dogs too. It is nice when a fresh grad needs work and wants to learn, but there needs to be a plan in place to transition young people up the ladder instead of showing favoritism to a select few. I also noticed people being hired to just complete projects and then be let go...not good! They parade under the banner of a Christian organization, but I did not see that. Nice people, but inconsistent. I suggest this place to fresh college grads and then once you get a few years experience, move on and make salary a focus.
