Pros

Good salary and some of the people are nice.

Cons

They have convinced themselves that they are a big league player, they pay a good salary and offer a good annual bonus BUT: their market share continually shrinks because they are 100% risk averse and they are in a dwindling sector. Their environmental products are for coal fired plants, which are being discontinued, dismantled and not replaced. Think Titanic. The annual bonus that's part of your work agreement is a gimmick. Between 2005 - 2015 I think it was paid once or twice. Constant layoffs have reduced employees from 1,000 to less than 150 (!), and dwindling. Yet they think they are a competitor to companies that have 50,000 - 350,000 employees, cutting edge tech and deep pockets . Finally, to understand how they have no humanity, they SUE EMPLOYEES. Just look up the one court case they haven't been able to keep confidential - Babcock and Balles are the party names to the lawsuit. They lost and appealed and lost again.

Great company to work for. They provided autonomy as well as management support. There are always opportunities to move up within the company.

Growing rather fast, so the usually growing pains.

Pros

The work is interesting and I have a lot of control over the design and implementation strategy. The pay is decent. I generally love the employees that I work with on a day to day basis.

Cons

Under resourced. This company is a good ole' boy club. If you are a woman and you don't live in Louisville Kentucky you do not stand a chance in getting promoted no matter how hard you work. The management does NOT advocate for their employees. And they have a very old fashioned management culture.
