Pros

There is tremendous upside to this company, lots of market potential, tons of work. Not a place to go if you want to sit on your butt and do nothing. It's still a start-up so there's a lot of work to do and they're still hiring a lot of people to help do it. I have a lot of flexibility to tackle the work and challenges I see. Strong investor support.

Cons

There is a lot of work and it can be stressful, but that's what it's like at a start up. It can be difficult for folks that aren't used to working hard. Some processes and procedures still need to be established or improved on, but it's exciting to get to be a part of that. If you want an established company where you work in your rut and don't go outside the lines, don't come here! They have to hire so many new people that the turnover is higher than at an established company.

Pros

Co workers and cafe are awesome be nice to everyone in the cafe they work very hard and are usually treated very poorly! No thankyou, no please, just very rude people

Cons

On a company so big on the safety of there employes , there new snow Removel contracter is a joke!!!!!!!so with that said don't fall on the ice coverd unsalted walkways and report it u will surely be terminated!!!!!!!!!!!! You are often asked 10 mins before you leave if you can stay and pull an all nighter. And yes I mean a 24hour shift! Which I bealeave this is not safe or legal! But u a very frowned on if you say no ! And after that shift they will tell you to go home sleep for a couple hours and come back! While your Forman is out the door 330/4 and never see his face unless he is getting some major heat from GF. It is kaos with no result !

Pros

coworkers are nice. Equipment is advanced. The cafeteria is pretty good.

Cons

Managers ask you to do things and ask how you did it, but can't really guide you because they never knew themselves how to do it. A Chemistry major manager can't manage the work in EE field. An associate degree manager can't guide the work which need graduate degree knowledge. But they have the power to let the right field engineer leave. Completely upside down organization. The best people are at the bottom.
