Pros

Had the opportunity to work with some great people. The concepts for renewable energy were inspiring and gave you a sense that you could do something worthwhile for the environment.

Cons

Poorly managed. You never knew if it would be the last week you were working there. The sense of anxiety and insecurity made morale very low. Even when someone has many years of management experience, they are silenced by college kids who suck up to the upper management. The openness for new ideas is lacking unless you went to a prestigious school and you talk about how great the upper management is.

Pros

Mostly what others have pointed out about food... A very good Solar Tower (CSP) concept that has a very solid business potential, only if it was in the hands of the right leadership team. The work is interesting and challenging at times.

Cons

Management loves to hire graduates from a selected list of name brand schools, and then places them in key positions with little or no real world experience. If you are not a graduate from the management selected short list of pet schools, then chances are that you will be frustrated, even if they do hire you. Equal opportunity and upward mobility seems to be resrved for pet school graduates. The team morale is also low because of lack of clear business strategy and almost incompetant leadership.
