Pros

Average pay for engineers and slightly above average benefits package. A nice place to gain experience in whichever filed you are in. mechanical engineering, field engineering etc.

Cons

Honestly I don't even know where to start, the employees are nice people but most of them are not remotely trained enough to be doing what they do, the need for an experienced person in the hydrogen field should be prioritized because it is absolutely horrendous at this organization. It is expected that people work very long hours with no extra pay due to being on salary and little to no bonus package. It is extremely toxic as there is no work life balance and if you are married or dating there is no space for a relationship. You will be expected to work 6 days as a minimum and sometimes 7 days. Sunday is the only day of grace. it is extremely tough to show your skills at a high level on a consistent basis because half the time you are fatigued from working long hours and weeks.

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.
