Coworkers rock, decision makers not so much

Senior quality engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of PTO, good social culture, competitive pay. Interesting science and market. Part of the green energy movement.

Cons

Top leadership seems to be more interested in politics and PR than success. Unrealistic expectations with poor planning. Scope/responsibility is too large for most individuals and there does not seem to be a plan to hire the necessary help. Product designed without risk analysis; like trying to sell a go-kart as an automobile.

Pros

Before Plug started growing too fast it was awesome. Great benefits, good wages, Good Work life balance.

Cons

THey started farming out some of the HR tasks and things got complicated and then they got involved in politics and just laid off the only production people that know how to make the Air cooled stacks for Amazon
