UGE International Reviews

Although the company more than doubled its staff and increased its market presence while I worked there, this was not based on increased revenue or profitability. The technology never worked, but the company continues to believe that it is better than the several hundred other competitors who have also failed in their sector. I am not sure what was worse - marketing overpriced scrap metal under the guise of environmentalism - or consistently lying to customers, employees, and ourselves on an hourly basis. One could talk forever about the lack of benefits, delusional 'leaders, inconsistent direction or compensation that teetered around minimum wage. Perhaps the worst thing is that to this day, the company is still hawking unproven equipment to innocent clients around the world- creating lasting damage to the cause of green energy on a global scale.

The company is trying to do too many things it does not have the capacity to do. The company has great ambition but the fact that it is owned and bankrolled by a foreign entity ensures that change will only happen if there is significant risk to the company's shareholders. Management is incompetent- relevant improvements and new strategy suggested by employees is ignored and dismissed. Most of the managers do not actually understand the startup principles that they expound so often. From 2011-2012, the core focus of the business and its territories were changed so many times that many are unsure if the company knows what it's doing. Business development staff and engineers that worked at the company for several years still were not awarded equity, benefits, or any tangible appreciation of their hard work. Opportunities for advancement do not exist. This is not a social enterprise. It is a Chinese company dedicated to pushing product (of questionable quality) out of the door.
