Pros

The technology is very interesting and exciting to work on. Working in renewable energy is rewarding. Many of the people are great to work with.

Cons

Impossible to get anything done. Upper management is extremely restrictive and untrusting. Almost anything requires a NOC approval which goes all the way to the president of Abengoa, even something as simple as purchasing a $900 piece of equipment if it does not fall into standard payment terms. Payment terms are extremely restrictive (180+ days) which essentially is a short term loan from suppliers which got the company in trouble for way over extending debt and misclassifying debt. Raises are poorly managed with compensation for promotions expected to be taken on faith or empty promises and most likely ending in disappointment.

Pros

Non. Can't think of a single thing that this company does right. The only thing was got to meet a lot of nice people I worked with .

Cons

Bad management. Preferences and pay went to spaniards. Did not pay Americans what they were worth. Raises took over year and a half to get . Horrible communication . Bad client relationships. Treated vendors and subcontractors poorly
