Pros

It is a highly technical company that has survived for a long time by diversifying into the wind energy business which is supposed to support the superconductor business.

Cons

The superconductor business has been waiting for decades to take off - always technology of the future. Stock price plunged in 2011 and has not recovered since.

Pros

over the past five years, AMSC had quickly become family. I am able to be a mom of a toddler, while still juggling a demanding global position. AMSC values work life balance and understands everyone has a life outside of here. When I first interviewed here, I could not believe the tenure. So much of senior leadership has spent 10+ years here, and I have had the pleasure of wishing people luck on retirement, and then seeing them again shortly after wanting to work part time for us. I truly enjoy coming to work every day, not only because the work is never stagnant, but the people I work alongside are truly some of the most caring people.

Cons

AMSC will challenge you to wear multiple hats, Some may think it's a con, but I personally enjoy it. It allows you to consistently grow as the company grows.
