IT Manager - Anonymous employee ATPCO Employee Review

I was disappointed to see your comment about ATPCO being “Technologically very outdated and not open to new ideas & thinking.” Like all companies that have been around for quite some time (ATPCO is over 50 years old) we certainly have some legacy systems around, however, I think we are a long ways from being outdated and not open to new ideas. All of our new product development is being done by lean/agile teams utilizing a microservices based architecture deployed to a virtualized environment using Docker containers. We have an active DevOps team and have implemented a full CI/CD pipeline. Redhat was so impressed with our approach they have invited our engineers to speak at their user conference in California for the past couple of years and wrote a very flattering case study about us. We are pursuing several cutting edge technologies including Block Chain and AI/Machine Learning, we were just awarded a patent for our work with airline pricing on graph databases, and we regularly interact with startup and early stage companies through our Bridge Labs program. We encourage active experimentation, open collaboration, and regularly send engineers and architects to industry conferences and training, encouraging them to “bring the outside in”. While we have a lot of work to do as we continue to transform the company, I think we are well on our way and I would recommend ATPCO as a great place to collaborate and be innovative and be a part of the change.
