Pros
There are currently no pros for working for Active Power.
Cons
Former CEO ran the company into the ground, then sold it off to Piller. Nearly all of the design, manufacturing, test, and service expertise has been purged from the company. It is unlikely that the business will be allowed to continue. If it does continue, there is no one there who knows the history of the product, and in this case, that knowledge is crucial to understand. Compensation has always been inadequate. At the end of tenure, was making only 85% of the average for this market. Worthless stock options. Worthless RSUs. Not a lot of paid time off. Insurance benefits at or below average level.
