Our team and culture

Built on the people in Hillsboro

AGCEA is a small team by design. Engineering, operations, sales, and Account Management Services share the same building, the same lunch room, and most of the same problems. It's how we move fast on technical decisions, and it's also why our annual all-hands BBQ is the only company event everyone shows up to.
