Pros

The products are interesting and the technical and manufacturing staff are great people to work with. The benefits were okay.

Cons

The executive staff mostly consists of Tecstar management refugees (Tecstar was a PV company that failed in 2003). These same people have now done to Spectrolab what they did to Tecstar. There is no "mission statement" or direction anymore, just finger-pointing and CYA.

Pros

Supportive engineering manager. Open to data-driven ideas. Experienced senior engineers. 10% 401k match.

Cons

Hard to get promoted. Lots of bureaucracy and paperwork slows things way down. Money is tight. Leadership hesitant to make meaningful changes.
