Stable company with less perks - Principal Engineer APS Healthcare Employee Review

Awesome place to work when in business.

Was sold and went out of business.

APS allows people early in their career to get valuable experience and opportunities to grow and develop that other companies would not normally offer. I was brought in "green" and was given the opportunity to take on challenging assignments (with support from my Manager). I hope to continue to grow with the organization. Our CEO/Chairman and COO hold a "All Associates Call" each quarter to update all Staff on company updates and initiatives. At the end of the call, each and every employee can give feedback and ask questions. This type of open communication at any Company is rare, and I appreciate it at APS. An Employee Survey is offered to all staff each year. The results and action plans to improve are communicated to all staff as well. With any company, APS has its ups and downs. But I truly feel top management has good intentions and does want to improve company performance and employee satisfaction.

APS programs are contract driven, which means there may be reductions and complete losses in contracts. When this happens reductions in force are required. This tends to cause job security issues with all staff across the organization, and with that brings discontent among staff. With that being said, APS does offer tools and resources to assist with finding a new job if an Employee is laid off. Since APS is an growing organization, there is trial and error with processes and procedures. Just have to be willing to ride the wave.
