Pros

Develops and manufactures top-of-the-line technology that sincerely ranks among the best in its class; tremendous company profit and growth in recent years, with ample opportunity for future success; respectful, smart, and fun group of colleagues; competitive pay and bonuses, with aggressive additional hiring plans currently in place (which is particularly rare in the Portland region, as Oregon has been one of the hardest hit states across the entire U.S. in light of recent economy).

Cons

The nature of the business and products automatically dictates the need for continuous development in technology. Ideally, that means not just keeping up with the competition, but being ahead of the curve, so at times that can make for a somewhat stressful environment with tight deadlines. I've certainly dealt with worse. Also, the culture is based on a business casual environment M-F, which isn't typical for the most part in the Pacific Northwest (tends to be 100% casual all week), but again, it's manageable.

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.
