Pros

Opportunity abounds and compensation, when well negotiated can be on the high end. Participating in alternative energy solutions on a large scale is something this company does well.

Cons

Work hour expectations are rarely less than 60+ hours per week, working on vacation is mandatory. There is little to no training provided. Compensation for education is also more of a talking point than an actual action item as most education reimbursement applications are not approved prior to class start.

Pros

Can not think of any.

Cons

Management is completely inept. They manage by fear and intimidation. They need to stop hiring managers from Spain and start hiring US managers. The Spanish managers are terrible. They do not plan or communicate anything well. They do not listen to anyone. They do not know what they are doing.

Pros

Lots of work and work challenges

Cons

Lots of nepotism and incompetent managers. Managers manage by intimidation and threats. They use incompetent engineers out of Spain to design & force American Engineers to sign for their work. They provide very poor E&C services.
