Washington D.C. (PRWEB) April 04, 2014 -- Applied Predictive Technologies (APT) announced today it has been selected by the Washington Business Journal as a 2014 Best Places to Work Winner. This is the eighth year that the Washington Business Journal has selected companies for this award. Hundreds of companies and thousands of employees participate in the surveying process for the award.

On being named one of the best companies for which to work, Liz Liang, Lead Software Engineer and a Duke graduate, said, “I love working at APT. It’s exciting to develop a software tool that is an essential part of how our customers make critical decisions. One of the most exciting parts of the job is hearing stories about how our customers use a new software feature and how it helps them find new insights in their data. There is so much talent and energy on my team; the problems we tackle are challenging and interesting and my team supports my growth as an engineer.”
Ryan Rosario, Business Consultant and MIT graduate, added, “it is incredible to work at a company that is so dedicated to employee satisfaction, solving complex business challenges, and delivering the best product to our customers.”
Marketing Analyst Daniel Schreff, a Harvard graduate, said that “working at APT has provided me with tremendous professional development opportunities. It is exciting to have a tangible stake in APT’s rapid growth.”

As part of their effort, they built a software application for school administrators to enhance their ability to manage their teacher observation program.
