Pros

Pay is good, generous annual merit increases, and bonus payouts. I was lucky to have a supportive manager that helped me grow. This is good company that does good things.

Cons

Not a lot of clear communication and departments have conflicting goals. Lower level employees are often caught in crossfire between department heads and are blamed for things management is ultimately responsible for. The company has a "All Passion. No Politics" slogan but the corporate office and plants are full of political landmines and it's a growing problem.

Pros

There are some good people at Alkegen who really want to make a difference. Too bad those individuals aren't in senior leadership.

Cons

Alkegen's biggest con is its senior leadership and how they create a toxic work environment of micro managing their subordinates. I've seen some very toxic behaviors from leadership that I've never seen before in my career. I understand getting the job done, but people do have lives outside of work, and leadership doesn't seem to care at all. After dedicating your entire life to Alkegen, management decides no one gets a bonus next year. Besides that, their benefits were terrible, only offering a high deducible PPO with a small contribution to an HSA. My copay and deductible went through the roof. The unlimited PO is not really unlimited, since you're never allowed to disconnect since you're not afforded a work-life balance.
