Advanced Energy Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Advanced Energy full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Lots of bright people here, Love the location, love the industry.

Cons – Management has everyone who's left that there are more layoffs, and outsourcing coming. No real focus on making this place a great place to work. All the talk is to please the shareholder, and no appreciation for the people that made this company (The Employees). Too bad. I was real inspired to come work in the solar industry but the environment here is not ideal.

Advice to Senior Management – It's clear that you want to make as much money as possible and leave, so I guess good for you. Your employees could be so much more productive and inspired if you did a good job at leading us.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Advanced Energy full-time for more than a year

Pros – Good people to work with. A large mix of low volume products makes it interesting - always something new to learn. This is a good place to get some experience.

Cons – Yes men are more likely to be promoted. Management does not want to hear the truth but just a yes. Layoffs are very common. I would not recommend this company for a long-term career.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the employees more.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
