      Fixated on bottom line, not interested in employees or org effectiveness

      Pros

      Amidst the thousand(s) who now work there, there are some quality, strategic people with high integrity and desire to work hard but also have a life. Very few live in Austin (HQ) and most come from the companies they've gobbled up.

      Cons

      Most of the quality people have or will be leaving. They have done a disastrous job of integrating their new companies. Instead of taking the time to understand the quality and innovation they've purchased and the talent of the staff they've acquired, they strong arm their (dysfunctional, nonstrategic, unstructured) way of doing business on the newly acquired companies, spend no time understanding the talent they've purchased and shove people to wherever is easiest or they have a hole (with nepotism and sexism as a background theme), regardless of skill, experience or employee interest. There has been SO MUCH WASTE of amazing talent in their acquisitions. An organizational design and effectiveness consultant would cringe to witness the precisely opposite behaviors this company has exhibited when acquiring and growing. 4+ companies in one year. There has been little effort to strategically define or track metrics the type of metrics that will drive actual acquisition success. Shocking. Sad. Exhausting.

      While difficult to read, we appreciate the thoughtful way you’ve articulated these issues. We regret that this has been your experience. Every bit of feedback human resources receives allows us to create a more positive experience for new employees and improve the work environment for existing employees. Our integration process now includes ongoing executive roundtables, feedback sessions from employees, feedback surveys that are reviewed and actioned both by regional management and national leadership. Because of what we’ve learned, our most recent acquisition has been smooth and heartening. At CLEAResult, we are resolute in our belief that we can create a great place to work and serve clients with the mission of changing the way people use energy.

      Priority mismatch between corporate and program teams

      Pros

      Some highly successful and enjoyable teams in a couple regions; hope you end up there. Nationwide offices and regularly getting new work --> opportunities for advancement and relocation. Supportive of career development, certification pursuit, conference attendance.

      Cons

      Strict about compensation adjustment, so if you start below a level you feel appropriate, expect to remain that way throughout your time with company. Growth focuses more on acquiring new companies than organic growth, so merging/integration are a constant theme and time drain. Difficult to maintain consistent company culture and strategy. If you aren't in one of the more successful offices, you'll find teams who don't seem to understand the changing nature of energy efficiency programs and utility needs, may spend all your time playing catch-up or protecting existing work instead of trying to get ahead. Often long hours 3-6 months out of the year, as many full-time employees spend up to 40% of time doing BD work to win new contracts. When finances get tight, the first thing to go is necessary program support or employee bonuses, rather than corporate profits - - leads to very poor general atmosphere in times of slower growth or not winning contracts.

      Pros

      Salary was competitive, and the man I supported was considerate and professional.

      Cons

      Perhaps the worst place I've ever worked due to the horrendous amount of profanity and lack of professionalism. The CEO consistently yelled at the top of his lungs at employees, causing many to cry.

      I'm sensitive to your situation and appreciate the review. However, I strongly disagree with your portrayal of the CEO and find your description to be very uncharacteristic and false. Our integrity is everything. And the character of our people, including our reputable leader, distinguishes CLEAResult.
