Pros

Plug Power is leading the fuel cell industry which can be game changers in a matter of years. Each day offers new technical challenges for engineers. Perks include competitive salary and vacation hours for the Capital District, tuition reimbursement, casual dress code.

Cons

There's no shortage of work and there are financial challenges related to being a publicly traded company. Production and service technician opportunities are challenging and stressful, so turnaround is high for hourly employees. Field service techs are expected to do a lot for little pay. Communication across departments can be improved.

Pros

Great benefits, ability to be lenient in schedules, and freedom to make your own decisions for the most part. Ability to rise fast if your willing to move and make yourself available for the company. Great people in the company everywhere and most people are easy going and can just roll with the punches. The technology does have promise with proper implementation. All in all the people in the company are great and fun to work with for the most part. It is a good job overall and I don't regret coming here.

Cons

Unorganized, poor leadership and management. The same mistakes are made over and over. The excuse of 'startup in growth phase' expired 10 years ago.
