Pros

Many of the employees are friendly.

Cons

Working here is complete chaos. There are massive holes in the management team because the CEO fires people regularly. He sees himself as a vision of Trump and treats his employees with disdain. Employees are underpaid, bonuses are a joke and the entire engineering/sqa department can expect to send weekly updates to the CEO on what they're individually doing. I'd call it micromanagement if he could manage anything. He's also desperate to get some of that cybersecurity money in the industry right now but the company has no concept of security. The company is a ticking time bomb. If you are desperate for a job while you look for something better this could be the place for you. Just don't break your ankle when you use this stepping stone.

To ensure employees have the opportunity to discuss concerns, the leadership team operate an open door policy. The company endeavors to offer a competitive compensation package with new benefits added recently and it benchmarks salaries to ensure the company is able to retain and attract highly skilled and talented professionals. We wish you continued career success.

Additionally, the company invests in professional development through workshops and training sessions, which have been invaluable.

Cons

Honestly, not many. Like any fast-paced environment, there can be busy periods, but the support from the team makes it manageable.

Pros

The people who work at APCON are very nice and knowledgeable.

Cons

The headline says it all. The CEO is a rude, narcissistic bully. His input is never specific or useful, just general mean comments meant to knock employees to their knees. I was out the door as soon as I found another job.
