Pros

The technology provides great potential. Consert had a great opportunity to make their mark in green energy and help San Antonio become the showplace for power conservation.

Cons

Not one engineer understands the software in the product. Their engineers are always in "fire fighting" mode because they farmed the design out to a contract company and had to pull the plug. Then they patched it as best they could. There are intermittent failures they haven't fixed. They had a great engineer that wanted to go through the design, isolate functional blocks and find the problems, but they tried to force him into constant panic mode and he quit.

Pros

Unique and compelling technology. Competitive pay and benefits structure. Freedom to communicate with nearly anyone in the company for any need. Great experience learning about startups and their transition to "development" status.

Cons

Really rough market working with Utility Companies as the customers. Few to no processes defined within the company. Senior staff, while available and visible, keep strategic discussions from the directors and managers and then hold them accountable for company failures of efforts that they never knew they were to perform. Family friends on staff hold priorities over other talent.
