      Pros

      APL is hands down the most employee-centered place I've ever worked. There is careful thought and consideration that goes into every decision they make and how it will or could impact employees. The environment is supportive, highly innovative and extremely collaborative. The benefits are incredible and the acknowledgement of appreciation for employee work is second to none. I've never worked anywhere that views its people as integral to the operation as APL does. On top of that, the work is incredibly meaningful.

      Cons

      I don't have any cons
