People where nice, very little office drama There where some absolutely horrible senior techs that I had to interact with has an engineer. This specific one wouldn’t come into work sometimes, was late most of the time, left most of the work load to the more Junior Tecs. With more experience then anyone else, he had no input on how to improve work flow or product out put but continually complained about his inept junior techs. When I walked around he was always on his phone or in his office on his phone. Most repairs where left to lower level techs which lead to more down time of the machine because of long or incorrect repairs. The junior techs where competent and motivated which makes these lazy senior tech more complacent. The senior techs where not training them or even guiding them In there daily tasks. Talking to some of the junior tech showed me that they where mostly self taught. After working here for a few years, I realized that these senior techs where rehired from when the company down sized in the past. It seemed obvious that they where here to do minimal work and ride out their cushy position until the next downsizing. This was common amongst multiple manufacturing departments and I believe resulted in the eventual downsizing of the complain do to manufacturing inadequacies. TCO and CIGS had the largest issues in regards to this but it was without a doubt, company wide. It is sad that some good people and good employees lost their jobs because of these horrible senior techs. -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 DISAPPROVE 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 3.0 40531 Open Management was to friendly with their employees and wouldn’t take action unless absolutely necessary. 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 4.0 Open Mar 23rd, 2023 11:10AM Mar 23rd, 2023 11:10AM Ascent Solar Technologies
nasdaq:asti https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=40531 Mar 22nd, 2023 12:00AM Open Open Ascent Solar Engineer Thornton, CO Avoid this company at all costs! None. This company is repeating it's past mistakes, heading down the same path to failure but at a faster pace. Best outcome would be if some other solar company bought them. Another year, another mass layoff. New CEO (Sept 2022) with fantastical, unachievable goals. Stock back in the toilet, trading again at 40 cents. No annual reviews in over 2 years, no raises, no bonuses. -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 DISAPPROVE 0.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 40531 Open Having a "moon shot" goal is one thing, having a "Pluto shot" company goal is crazy. Company completely lost focus on why the company was revived in 2020 after being shutdown most of the year. Set achievable 1-2 year goals, meet them, then go for it. 0.0 [] REGULAR No No 2.0 Open Mar 23rd, 2023 11:10AM Mar 23rd, 2023 11:10AM Ascent Solar Technologies

nasdaq:asti https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=40531 Jun 20th, 2022 12:00AM Open Open Ascent Solar Denver, CO A startup with a neat idea, but poorly managed People tend to get along well enough. Didn't notice any office drama. Interesting product provides some motivation. Frequent company meals (Lunches). No overtime Semi- flexible hours Position offered did not align with tasks assigned. I was told my role would be modifying code, and adjusting equipment recipes (instructions). The only task I was given was reassembling a machine that had been aggressively disassembled (wires were cut rather unattached). Communication is severely lacking. I worked here for months, and despite routinely asking for goals to be communicated I was written up for under producing. Chain of command is not clear. The person I reported to was not my manager, my manager was apparently an executive in the company to whom I'd never been introduced. -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 DISAPPROVE 0.0 2.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 2.0 40531 Open Communicate better. Starting from new employee orientation. The first day I actually spoke to my "manager" was the day I quit. Company structure, direction, goals, and time lines were never communicated. I was sent a lot of generic emails and slide shows, but little direction. Better define your roles. I was employed as an engineer, but most of the work I performed was that of an electrician. I was given a wiring diagram (in Japanese) and told to wire a machine which had previously operated and since been fully dissected. Offer more money and hire people with more experience. The salary I received was consistent with that of a junior employee. However the work was better suited for an experienced electrician. 0.0 [] No No 1.0 Open Jun 22nd, 2022 08:15AM Jun 22nd, 2022 08:15AM Ascent Solar Technologies
