Pros
Having been with Celgard for over 20 years I can say there were a lot of pros. Pay was good, benefits were good, great people, rewarding work (at times) and I never felt micro-managed. I worked *for* a lot of good, honest people. But there were a lot of not so-good people. And I worked *with* a ton of great people and made good friends.
Cons
Celgard/Polypore has horrible decision makers at or near the top. Millions upon millions of dollars thrown at failing projects. That may be the cost of business, however, how many times does one project need to fail? And how many projects /products are sitting with no customers? They are literally busting at the seams with middle management that serve no purpose. (none of which were laid off with the rest of us.) A few years ago a previous CEO screwed Celgard employees over by essentially telling a lot of customers to pound sand and the company has floundered ever since with multiple lay offs. Celgard use to be a great job. I loved it. They were good to me. I would highly recommend. But it's changed, and it's not good. -signed, ex bitter employee.
