Pros

Collect a salary in a hostile workplace

Cons

I was over-qualified for this job. I had to go to a funeral one day and I was dressed formally for the funeral. A rude employee walked by the lab, looked at me, and said "Dressing like that won't get you anywhere". Fuel Cell Energy will never get anywhere with these kind of employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

One can rely upon the technology to continue into the future, thereby somewhat assuring a bit of job security and career growth. Educational support is available.

Cons

Struggling to balance/ convert an entrenched R&D culture to a production / market aware one: it's an uphill slog but progress appears to be happening.
