Hello, as always, thank you for your feedback. We need feedback in order to grow and change. I'm sorry to hear that you don't recommend working at Arcadia. If you're open to talking and working through your cons list, grab sometime for a coffee chat with HR or your manager, whoever you feel most comfortable with, so we can work through the issues and do our best to create a plan to remedy. While I have you, I would like to recommend that you join the DEI slack channel and their meet ups so you can bring your thoughts and ideas to the group. The DEI group is newly formed and working with Leadership to create and push tangible change within our organization. We don't have it all figured out, and when we do, we don't always get it right. Also, change takes time to become real and natural. So, your feedback and engagement is important to help us align, grow and be more diverse and inclusive as a whole. I hope to talk more soon.

Broke company with poor sick leave policies

Pros

There are absolutely no pros. Their buyout of Engie has been mismanaged and poorly communicated from the start.

Cons

Broke company, no 401k matching, no HSA matching, refused to transfer sick leave to new system so you lost out on 40+ hours in if you accrued/EARNED it, only get 40 hours of sick leave in replacement for the year.

Pros

-Flexible work life balance -Mid level management & below are competent, hard working people

Cons

-Senior leadership is AWFUL. They are addicted to M&A, constantly change their mind about the product direction, are opaque and overly secretive, and constantly deflect blame onto those below them. -Arcadia pivoted away from renewables into consulting and solutions. It is no longer a mission-driven company

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback about your experience as an Arcadia alum. We genuinely appreciate you highlighting the flexible work-life balance and the talent and hard work of our mid-level management and below. These are aspects we actively strive to maintain and improve, and it's encouraging to hear they made an impact on your experience. We hear your concerns regarding senior leadership and the feeling that Arcadia has strayed from its mission. We want to assure you that we remain steadfastly committed to our core mission: putting clean energy on the grid and helping companies find the cleanest kilowatts possible. The past few years have indeed been challenging, marked by significant and unpredictable shifts in both the financial and political environments. These external pressures have required us to make difficult decisions and adapt our strategies, including our approach to acquisitions and product direction, to ensure the long-term sustainability and success of the company. We acknowledge that these strategic changes and integrations have been impactful, and we can assure you that our leadership team is fully accountable for their success and for guiding Arcadia forward. We are committed to transparency regarding the financial health of the business and actively strive to avoid opacity. We share regular updates through monthly all-hands meetings, bi-weekly newsletters, and frequent Slack updates. We welcome further conversation and feedback, and can always be reached through our alumni help desk, which can be found in your offboarding information.
