what a ride - Engineer Nanosolar Employee Review

Great technology and people all around. Good career opportunities. Company discounted meals, dinks, free coffee. Very optimistic about their product. Plenty of parking space.

Previous management had it all together and we were doing just fine. But when new CEO cut off executive heads starting from key managers and engineers the wheels started moving to extinction.- Unhappy scientists and key manufacturing personnel were forced to work insane hours by new micro-management, consequently starting an exodus of know-how talent. Poor or non existent employee retention program. What killed this company at the end were new hires that didn't know how to do the job and they hired other high salaried staff to cover up for them (too many unexperienced chiefs not enough dedicated Indians). All top management contributed to an snow ball effect creating mistakes that they couldn't fix.
