      Misleading job

      Technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not many, laid back I guess, no over time whatsoever

      Cons

      They advertise this job as electromechanical assembly with the opportunity to work on harder projects for the military and R&D, but that isn't an option. The whole job is literally just putting labels on cans used to refill AC with freon or putting EPA tests in shrink wrap. There's no assembly and no potential for upward mobility.

      Challenging, rewarding and very stable small energy R&D company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - If sufficiently motivated, you define your own job description in R&D - The ability to collaborate with the best and brightest in diverse engineering fields - Excellent pay with no glass ceiling on salary increases - Develop cutting edge science, engineer them into products & see technology from the idea phase to implementation - Very family-first oriented business from the top down - Excellent continuing education opportunities that are highly supported, funded, and encouraged as a company - Excellent facilities & internal investment in their improvement - Absolutely on the cutting edge of energy research - Well known and respected R&D company

      Cons

      - Flat management structure with little positions for upward movement. While it doesn't impact continual salary increases, you need to love and want to do R&D day in and out, and not be "in it for the title". - Very fast paced. You need to be agile and able to adapt/change quickly! - Very cutting edge. You need to be well educated, smart and have a creative mindset. - There is very little daily oversight but as much support as needed on request. You need to be very self-driven and motivated through truly enjoying what you do....R&D. - Be prepared to go out of your comfort zone as most projects are very interdisciplinary and require continually learning new concepts.

      Lots of Opportunities

      Pros

      You have lots of opportunities to bring in your own work by writing proposals. This really is as good or bad as you make it. If you're passionate about your work, you have the opportunity to bring in your own contracts and work on what you love to do.

      Cons

      Can be challenging technically, and you need to be a all around good engineer. You cannot just be good at writing, presenting, coding, hardware, etc. You need to be good all around.
