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.

We are glad to hear that we provide a flexible schedule and work/life balance for you. We know the past couple of years have been a bumpy ride, with the external market and economy throwing a lot of curveballs our way, and that's definitely impacted things here. We're actively working to tackle these head-on, and your feedback is definitely something we're taking to heart as we shape our strategy. We encourage you to share more specifics with your manager or HR BP.
