Pros
Fuel Tech sells air pollution control systems so you feel good about what the company does. Good coffee, fruit and granola bars provided daily. Company closes early the day before a holiday and closes all together if the weather is bad (grown up snow days). Salary is above or at market levels.
Cons
In a predominately male run organization you might expect there a "good 'ol boys" club prominently on display, yet this club is run like a social clique of middle school mean girls. The lack of communication from the CEO downward and between departments is pathetic. Fuel Tech's sales have been on a downward trend for a few years, yet the number of VPs have been increasing during the same timeframe. One would think that adding overhead while the company is in financial straits would be a terrible idea. In a company of 200 there are about 20 VPs, all of which are constantly in ego battles with each other and pursue whatever priorities they chose often creating double work or overlapping - all avoidable with communication.
