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.

Pros

Been working for Mainstream for almost 4 years. Family comes first and the employees here are an extension of that family. See projects from start to finish (proposal writing, R&D, prototyping, testing and production) all in house.

Cons

Need to continue learning to stay up with all the new technology coming in the door. If you don't know a operation/process/product you need to learn it and learn it fast.
