Pros

Everybody is nice and works hard, plants are actively converting to EV and clean energy products which is nice to see and has been interesting. The company has historically been emission control products for the auto industry...but there's obviously no more growth in that sector. "Unlimited PTO" and benefits are great. Company seems to be recovering from the COVID pandemic and is steering the ship in the right direction despite any problems.

Cons

Computer software is from the stone age. Not much capital given to update and maintain old equipment, if a machine goes down it can wreck the entire day and make productivity metrics unachievable, even monthly targets. Company lost a lot of talent due to COVID and that has made it difficult. A lot of newer management and office staff.

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.
