Pros

Etagen has built an exceptional team and a product that can really become a breakthrough in the energy industry. It is fun and motivating to be part of a company that is growing fast (offices already moved twice) with challenging but very clear objectives. From executive management to technicians, everyone is working together and many engineers are truly world-class. All employees have a direct impact on the company success, and this a truly collaborative environment without any internal competition. What Etagen is trying to do is extremely ambitious, but has the right people to do so.

Cons

It is going so fast that first few months can be overwhelming.

Pros

Lots of overtime Free snacks

Cons

Technicians are rewarded for working efficiently with additional work assignments. "Senior" technicians do the same work as entry level techs, while getting paid twice as much. Last minute travel with many adhoc extensions, sometimes keeping you away from home for multiple weeks Unfair and dishonest supervisors who will quickly throw you under the bus for a pat on the back Unsafe practices in the field Inflexible work hours and schedule This is the type of job where you are expected to be working 100% of the time, even if you complete your assigned job duties. You will be pawned off to another department for the day to ensure you don't get a break. Last time I checked, running a computer at full capacity will cause components to heat up and burn out, resulting in an unsustainable system. The same goes for humans working in a business.
