APT Named #1 Medium-Sized Workplace by the Washington Post
Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) June 23, 2014 -- Applied Predictive Technologies (APT) announced today it has been selected as the #1 medium-sized workplace in the Washington, D.C. area by the Washington Post. The ranking was decided based on anonymous employee evaluations, interviews and other relevant data. 244 companies and over 33,000 employees were surveyed to identify the list of top-ranked workplaces.
Founded in 1999, APT is the world’s largest purely cloud-based predictive analytics software company. APT’s software is revolutionizing the way innovative organizations leverage their Big Data to accurately measure the profit impact of marketing, pricing, merchandising, operations and capital initiatives, tailoring investments in these areas to maximize ROI. Data for 20% of the U.S. retail economy is processed using APT’s growing suite of products, including Test & Learn™, Market Basket Analyzer, Category Insights, Merchandise Optimization and the APT Index, among others. APT’s customer portfolio includes Walmart, Starbucks, Procter & Gamble, Boots, Hilton Hotels, T-Mobile, and over 100 other global leaders.
APT strives to be an attractive place to work for employees across its five global offices. Given APT’s rapid growth, each employee has substantial advancement opportunities and the ability to take on additional responsibilities. APT also offers top-of-the-line benefits, including full healthcare coverage, stock options, paid sabbaticals and a dynamic mentorship program. APT’s social office culture contributes to a tight-knit and involved workforce — employees attend a variety of events each month, including office-wide happy hours, cross-functional dinners and team outings. Volunteer projects such as “hackathons” and pro bono data dives further foster team building and skill development. Given the unparalleled culture, opportunities and benefits, APT continues to maintain low turnover rates and high employee satisfaction.
In May, APT was also selected as the #1 place to work in the Washington, D.C. metro area by the Washington Business Journal.
John Tsai, APT Software Engineer and Harvard graduate, commented, “It is fitting for APT to be recognized for having such a great work environment. The decision for me to join APT was an easy one—apart from the fantastic benefits, it was clear from talking to current employees that this is a unique and exciting place to work. Everyone is able to take complete ownership of their projects, which is very rewarding.”
