Pros

There are some very smart people and very nice and hard working people there. Some teams are very good. The product is great.

Cons

there are also some very mediocre people and they are tolerated by the management. Managers seem quite unable to manage people. There is very little openness to dissent. It is a very secretive culture. Too many people have never seen manufacturing and are still thinking and operating as if it is a start up.

Promising technology overshadowed by poor leadership and insecurity

Pros

Good technology that could really serve in the energy sector if the initial fuel source is available (e.g. natural gas)

Cons

Top-down culture with an overly arrogant leadership team. Decisions are made without consulting subject matter experts and are expected to be executed without question. The workplace does not feel secure, with frequent layoffs occurring without clear communication or justification. There are also serious concerns regarding discrimination based on gender and ethnicity.

Pros

Great pay and decent hours

Cons

Absolutely terrible management; company refuses to acknowledge their mistakes, several unlawful firings, unethical practices and conduct; we were constantly rushed and stressed to fit 12 hours of work into 10
