Neither an especially good place, nor an especially bad place to work.

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company tends to value a work/life balance. There are occasional company outings and parties to help engage employees.

Cons

Pelco often partitions its functions along rigid lines leading to impenetrable silos of knowledge and capability. Often times, wrangling an answer or solution out of someone or some organization produces a battle or wait far beyond the value of the desired outcome. Perhaps because of this, many people don't feel empowered to make meaningful decisions based on available data. Incentive "bonuses" are handed out as "Pelco points" that are good only for company-branded dress wear. Your base salary is your only income -- at least in Engineering.

Great people and great pay.

Firmware engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

APC has great people to work with for good compensation. Not a lot of politics at the lower levels. The people you work with have families and so it's a relaxed environment. The people are in it to do a good job, go home to their families.

Cons

Company is not loyal to employees. They treat you well as long as they need you, however they will lay you off if convenient for them despite stellar job performance. Recently with the merger with Schneider Electric, this has become a more common occurrence. I hope that things settle out in the future.

Excellent Benefits, Great People, Bad work environment/management

Technical support engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent Benefits, 401k, Medical, Dental and Vision! The people you meet working on the CST.

Cons

On the CST: Tech's are held back from promoting to other positions in the company until your managers "let" you go. Come in one minute late and you'll hear from workforce management, stay late and nobody will even say thank you. Answering phone calls all day, and being harassed to take a call at all times.
