Pros

As the technology holders, there are experts in all facets, from groundbreaking to final test. Answers easy to find, input is taken from all phases and departments, and considered.

Cons

Due to the large foot print of solar power towers, and other considerations, construction takes place onsite in the desert. Snakes, spiders, and environmentally protected species have to be considered so as to not upset the natural balance of the desert. Outside working conditions very from freezing, to 110+ Degrees Fahrenheit.

Challenging to balance work/life. Failed IPO. Business plan shifted to international projects so massive reduction in U.S. workforce.
