Pros

Interesting technology, good product quality, solid engineering

Cons

The cons of working at APCON begin and end with management, specifically the CEO. The CEO is the owner & founder of APCON. He has absolute control. There are no other counter balances to offset the whims of the CEO. As the saying goes, "absolute power corrupts absolute". And the CEO is truly corrupt in the sense of his management style, the culture he has created, and the way he treats all of his employees. I truly believe it is not possible to implement any type of real culture change at APCON until the CEO is no longer involved. He simply will not allow any change and is blind to his biggest weakness which is that he is a terrible leader. I asked myself many times over the years that how can someone be so smart but yet be so ignorant. If he had any self-awareness, APCON would be more than twice as big as twice as profitable. That's the irony in this sad story that he is THE reason for APCON's shortcomings and NOT the fault of his employees who he has blamed non-stop from the day I started.

APCON is an excellent company for anyone looking to advance their marketing career. As a Marketing Strategist, I have had the opportunity to work on diverse and challenging projects that have significantly enhanced my skills. The management genuinely values creativity and encourages out-of-the-box thinking. The team environment is collaborative and supportive, making it easy to share ideas and innovate. The leadership provides clear goals and offers constructive feedback to help employees grow. Additionally, the company invests in professional development through workshops and training sessions, which have been invaluable. The work culture promotes a healthy balance between personal and professional life, and the benefits package is competitive. Cons:

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.
