Pros

Better than average benefits as a result of being based out of the United Kingdom.

Cons

Devens Massachusetts (USA): You will be made to write incident reports - whereby you will tattle on your co-workers, and in turn, they will tattle on you. Those who tattles the most win prizes from a special website. As compensation for this activity, you will get a much lower salary than any other equivalent company. If you are a recent graduate, I would advise you to stay away from this company so you don't damage your reputation. Your better off doing something outside your field until a real opportunity at a serious company arises.

Pros

1- Brilliant scientists who are willing to share their knowledge and experience. 2- Free lunches

Cons

1- The site is struggling to generate money hence expenses are controlled tightly. New year dinner was organised and paid by scientists themselves. Salaries and consequently the quality of Managers are low. I got the least experienced, rude and demanding Manager in my whole 15 years career JM Fuelcell.2- The site has about 200 employees. It means a head of a group in Fuel cell site has the same seniority, experience and maturity as a junior-manager in a bigger company. 3- Technology department is an office with 10-15 people scientists in it. Job starts sharp at 8.30 and finished at 4.30 to 6 pm. 4- No formal training will be given. It is expected you lean from colleagues. 5- The production site has some weird people. There is a senior staff which uses F words left and right and is extremely rude. As new employee, you should make sure to accept all these and be extra careful with your own wordings.6- There is culture of complaining behind your back to HR and Managers. There is no honesty and direct talking. All talks are behind your back. If your Manager is a rookie and cant handle the politics, the possibility of screwing up is high.
