Started good, but steadily declined to being a dreadful place to work.

Pros

The technology is interesting, and has a good market ahead of it. There used to be an outstanding team of people to work with. If you can get on the CEO's good side, you'll do well for a while.

Cons

It's nigh impossible to get on the CEO's good side, and the slide from CEO Likes You to You're The Enemy is pretty quick, and fairly predictable. In general, the employees are treated like they aren't worth their salaries. There was such an amazing concentration of talent at APCON at one point, but it was squandered away very quickly. Most of engineering has been turned over in the last two years. I don't see how APCON will be able to keep up with their field for long.

Slightly better than being unemployed

Pros

The technology is moderately interesting and most of the people are fun to work with. The market is red hot and looks to be so for quite a while. The main working hours are 8 to 5:30 and many people do not have to put in extra time.

Cons

It is a very oppressive atmosphere in which to work. The company culture does not value the individual. You will be in fear of losing your job on a daily basis. Management does not know how to manage projects or motivate people, nor do they care to learn. Specs are not even half-baked and change before you have had a chance to provide feedback (which is not welcomed). You will not be motivated or recognized for quality work. Weekly changes in direction and a constant short term focus on the next customer (many times to prevent losing said customer) means that getting the next release out in a panic is the only focus. Quality and consistency are sacrificed every step of the way. Very little thought is put into long-term product planning or career development. Product development is all about the top few managers calling all the shots whether the are competent or not (and they are not).

Pros

I am unsure who authored the post in April, sounds a bit misdirected and a less than accurate reflection . APCON is a smaller tech environment that initially offers a perception (short lived) that you can impact your job/role, good pay and a nice breakout/lunch area - showers - good location and parking ease.

Cons

CEO - poor leader, highly political who fosters a hostile work environment / culture, Turnover/exodus in the last 6 months with a purging/lost of many longtime people (VP sales, Inside Sales).
