Pros

- Revolutionary processes that are being proven at the demonstration scale at the Thomaston facility - Management that has big dreams and visions to propel the company for years to come - Engineering, R&D, and Operations teams that are intermingled and jive well together - Good benefits for employees I have been with American Process for several years and only have good things to say about the company. The technology is sound and can produce an extraordinary portfolio of end products that nobody else in the business can do.

Cons

Yes, it is an extremely faced paced environment and employees must be dynamic. Being a start-up technology company, that should be expected as the race to commercialization is on. There is high turnover, but that is to ensure that only the most talented people are being brought in continuously to ensure future success of the company.

Pros

American process has experienced tremendous growth in the last couple of years. They are a dynamic innovative company. They seek out and recognize talent and have A large amount of depth through it's departments. They are quick to recognize talent and put people in key leadership/management positions. There are no silos; research, operations and engineering work hand-in-hand, and access to company leadership is always available and encouraged.

Cons

The pros are also the cons. the company is building a culture, in the face of rapid growth. With 22 nationalities represented, the challenge of building a culture is also a strength through multicultural diversity.

Pros

Many intellectual people in each department, very willing to help and teach. Especially helpful in a small startup environment. Tons of opportunities to learn, promoted individual growth. Great benifits. Great pay. Best I have seen in my career search. Company dynamic was moving in the right direction, thanks to the plant manager. Great place for an entry level employee learn and grow. Great potential to work on startups of commercial scale plants across the US and Brazil. Just didn't work out.

Cons

Very difficult to run a biotechnology startup in the current biofuels economy. Communication and trust was present within groups, but faulty between departments which lead to many inefficiencies. Work/life balance did not exist. Understandable with a typical startup company. Few bad eggs really drove out the good people at all levels of the company. HR threatened to sue employees for putting bad reviews on glass door. HR worked for the company, not the employees. These views are 100% my own, and do not reflect the views of American Process.
