Aqua Metals

Worked for this company as Accounts Payable for 2 years, they have bad management. The person who manage the AP team doesn't really know how to manage and full of lies, I had expressed to transfer to the PO department a year ago and they never make it happen. They didn't offer internal opportunity, instead they hired a new entry level for the PO department last month. I had to train my new supervisor in the AP team and another new person, take care the workload of the other person who just left. Not just that, I was bullied by the new supervisor, working is very stressfull. Talked to the HR, HR didn't help, they made me to report to the same person who bullies me or they fired me. They took my batch away and watch me leave the company and not even let me say good bye to my co-workers.

Aqua Metals is a terribly mismanaged company and I would not recommend it to anyone.  Protect your career, savings, and reputation by not accepting employment with them.  I wish someone would have told me this when I went to work for them three years ago.  They have had major firings/layoffs around the holidays for two consecutive years.  They have never met a production or commissioning milestone, and they have wasted untold millions of their shareholder’s money.  Their senior management is delusional, and they value blind loyalty over performance.       Take the time to research this company online and don't damage your career by associating with them.

I am blown away by how much this organization actually cares about their employees. They walk the walk and do more for their employees, and their families than I have seen any other organization do. 

Safety is a top priority here and all employees have stop work ability if they see something they feel is unsafe. It is refreshing to work for an organization that prioritizes employee safety over production and profit. 

Highly Recommend! 

Observed Management and Human Resources set workers up and made up excuses to fire people. Very toxic work environment.
No support for additional training/education
Purchased inadequate tools and materials for job requirements.

The most enjoyable part of this job was building relationships with some of my co-workers that are amazing people.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Worked with really great people! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Knowing that we were having financial troubles. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Outstanding! The management listened, was empathetic, responsive and communicated very well with compassion and understanding. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy...until at the end. It was clear there were troubles but I believe, for the most part, we were all just praying for the best.  This is a great company with a great dream!

The engineers and the majority of management are good at making you feel stupid or below yourself for asking any questions. Any PTO acquired is not supported when you need a day off. They make u feel like you are in a world of trouble and if you call out you will get fired. The environment there is extremely toxic.

I like working with the people at this company. The work challenging and rewarding. I have been with this company since its days as a start-up in a garage. There have been ups and downs, but the company has found its path and is charging ahead. I like working for a company that has a positive effect on the environment.

Lack of leadership with skills
Need of training for engineering staff
Schedule is always in motion
Average of 6 meetings a day
General direction of the company changes on a weekly basis. 
Politicts play a big role in servival of the common worker
Funds spent on the wrong projects.

An enjoyable, engaging place to work, at the cutting-edge of battery materials and recycling technology. Opportunities to play a significant role in the company's growth as it moves from 'startup' to an accelerating commercial company, and plenty of opportunities for advancement in all departments.

I have worked at Aqua Metals for nearly three years. It is a great company. The industry is dynamic with incredible potential for growth. Aqua Metals technology is exciting and I believe can be a game-changer in battery recycling. The management team is very solid and has demonstrated the ability to successfully adapt to challenging situations while maintaining a strategic focus.
