Pros

The lower managers, like the cell leaders are good people and manage well or the most part. The ones who have the appearence of being the most professional are the least reliable (looks don’t determine work ethic or effectivenss). Other technicians are very friendly and can pick up the job well, that is, the one’s who stay.

Cons

Lack of respect and mismanagement on all levels. Communication between higher ups and the warehouse are disgraceful, a reason for late shipments and never having any parts to build fuel cells. Warehouse is always out of parts, and it always seems like the blame gets thrown onto the warehous, there needs to be more accountability. As for lack of respect, there is no respect the blue collars. When they ask for you to do overtime, it means there really isn’t a choice, or else. Also, b/c they run out parts, don’t expect a full 8-10 hour saturday, bc after the first four, there will be no parts. Just very mismanaged, thre’s good technology, and good people, this company just needs better leaders.

Pros

Good scope in the market,Great engineering team to work with,flexible,easy going ,supportive, great technology(fuel cells) to work on and plenty of challenges and non linearity in engineering issues faced in deployment make the work more interesting , very friendly work culture at the non management level.Good location,lots of colleges around, "Plenty of fish" for college grads that are single coming into the job.

Cons

management makes promises that engineering cant keep up with and ends up losing more money than invested, when there is more work they lay people off.Short staffed in times of need,short of money because of managements desperation towards commercialization.Low Pay for all levels of employment since company is going through a tough phase.
