Pros

Pay is good, health insurance is great

Cons

You start with no vacation, you get paid once a month. The owner's mentality is to "work until the job is done", which will require a ton of unpaid OT including 20+ hour days. Work place is not very safe; during my 5 month tenure there were at least 2 lost time injuries. Extremely toxic workplace where your efforts are not valued, owner will talk down to you and cuss at you for anything that strikes him the wrong way. Training is non-existent, which is especially dangerous considering the type of work you will be doing. Your job title may be engineer, but you will be doing very little engineering. Near 100% turnover. You will be required to travel and work in grey areas of the law. No work-life balance. Owner works 7-day weeks, 10-18 hour days and that will be expected of all employees.

Pros

The unique engineering challenges I face every day keep me excited to learn and are exactly what shape you into a great engineer. The hydrogen industry is at the forefront of technological advancement and is critical to addressing the climate crisis; working here gives me the opportunity to contribute directly to that transformation. Fresh out of university, OneH2 provided me with a platform to not only translate theoretical concepts into reality but also entrusted me with crucial decisions that have made a significant impact on the company. This experience is further enriched by regular site visits and interactions with various vendors, which have significantly expanded both my technical knowledge and professional network. On top of the professional fulfillment, the company also offers excellent health benefits.

Cons

The company has significant room for improvement. The management style tends to be authoritative rather than collaborative. Additionally, decisions are often made to move forward on projects without gauging the required bandwidth. As a result, the sense of time management is lost, leading to teams facing unrealistic goals and crunched deadlines. Compounding this is a strain on work-life balance; the excessive hours required take a toll not just mentally, but also implicitly diminish the value of the compensation provided. Addressing these operational gaps is the only thing standing in the way of unlocking the full potential of this talented team.
