Aptitive Reviews

You are assigned a mentor from day 1. This is not your manager, but rather someone that has more experience in the industry to help you build your consulting and technical skills. I meet with my mentor a couple times a month to discuss my work, struggles, and training plan. We are also given a formal review every 6 months by a variety of people including teammates and clients (this is when we do promotions as well). I have found them to be very constructive and result in clear, personalized goals. We have $3K per person dedicated to training. I'm spending mine to learn Spark (no project, but I want to start selling Databricks). We see a future demand, so I am trying to get ahead of the curve! Even though I'm on an old school SSIS project right now, I get to stay very tech forward. This is because we are encouraged to not focus too much on any particular technology stack, but rather experiment, network, and sell in any technology that is demanded by our market. I've learned everything from Powershell to R depending on the lead (and you will get a chance to network and sell early on in your career). Aptitive is great about using your natural curiosity and problem solving skills to build your breadth of knowledge. We have a lot of room for promotion at Aptitive! We are not a pyramid structure, so you don't need your manager to retire to get to the next level. In fact, your promotions are based primarily on your performance. There is even room for multiple promotions within a single year for top performers (consultants operating well above their current level). Each new level has new expectations. Associates tend to focus on building technical skills and management tends to focus on leadership/sales (although I'm doing a lot of dev too). As you move up in your career at Aptitive, you will find a good fit within a practice and have ample opportunity to pursue the training and projects that are most interesting for you and potential clients.
