Pros

Comradery with the team of engineers, great place to learn, develop skills, and grow as an engineer.

Cons

None, other than the company was always looking for funding and finally never got enough of it.

Pros

They produce highly unique technology and provide a great learning experience for engineering interns. My supervisors cared that I took away as much as I put in to the company during my time there.

Cons

Beacon Power went bankrupt in 2011, but has since recovered. If the technology can catch on and the company can continue to attract customers, they will be able to stay afloat.
