Pros

The company appears to care about whether or not you are gainfully employed. They really have some compassion about not leaving anyone behind.

Cons

Career growth trajectory may be of a much later concern when compared to "where do we need people now, right now." Understandable for a startup working to get their first reactor off the ground.

Business Outlook

Pros

There was great camaraderie amongst the main workers.

Cons

This company has highly dysfunctional leadership that does not know how to lead people or manage complex projects. There is very little planning and most people spend time putting fires out or on non-value add activities. It is not likely this company will be successful.
