Pros

It is a high growth tech start up doing good work in the energy field.

Cons

There's some questionable practices of offshoring a lot of work to the newly acquired company in India that is leaving an unsettled atmosphere in the US that has not been addressed by leadership. While it is high growth--the energy is more chaotic then fast pace with young leadership/management that makes it scaling at such a high rate--almost impossible and contributing to burn out. Pay is known to be under market value since it is a mission driven company...so take that into consideration. Very little POC representation. No career growth. No personal development or employee engagement programs (i.e. ERGs).

Pros

The ONLY positive is the people doing the work. An amazing group of professionals doing everything they can to make it worth while operating in a complete absence of leadership.

Cons

Immediately reduced compensation for ALL employees post-acquisition. Poor benefits (no 401k match, no FSA/HSA match), toxic culture, tone deaf “leadership”, employees are not valued or respected. Large scale layoffs have already begun and will likely continue. Flexible PTO sounds nice until you realize it just means they won’t have to pay out for the hours you’d accumulated over the year when they lay you off. They have made it clear through actions and words that they have zero respect for the legacy employees post-acquisition. Decisions are made in a silo by people who don’t know the downstream effects of their decisions because they don’t care.
