Pros

Flexible work from home policy

Cons

Mandated over 40 hours per week with no OT with some BS excuse of "an extra 30 minutes a day helps us achieve the impossible". They tout "unlimited PTO" but then inundate you with a ton of work to the point where you can't really go anywhere, and guilt you if you try to take time off. I was retroactively denied vacation by my manager after it having to be a term of my employment due to a previously booked vacation prior to my start date. Nobody takes lunch breaks and if you do you are given the cold shoulder. False expectations set up during interview and on-boarding process (my job didn't even match what I was asked to do prior to starting). Promotions only happen once a year, so you have to wait until that date even if you are deserving prior to then. No cost of living increase given if you start mid-year. False expectations about job description. If you disagree with management you are seen as insubordinate as they don't take the advice of their direct reports. They don't care about good ideas if you are below them on the totem pole. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is I suggest you work literally anywhere else. Of all my jobs in the past 10 years, this one sits at the bottom of the barrel in terms of good places to work

Energy Solutions seeks to be a fair and flexible employer, so this employee’s experience of not being able to take lunch breaks or a vacation planned before coming on board was a missed opportunity on our part. Much of this person's feedback was related to the supervisor, and we are in the process of improving our supervisor training to enhance the skills of all our supervisors. We appreciate this reviewer communicating their experience and will leverage the feedback to improve the company for our current and future employees.

Pros

The ostensible mission seemed lofty, lots of mechanisms to help employees discuss why a seemingly flat organization is actually riddled with hierarchies and old boys' club mentality

Cons

I had hoped against hope that this would be a dream job, and that is certainly how recruiters try to sell it: great mission with great people who have *great* kindergarten skills. What I found was that there was a lot of lying by the management team, lying on performance appraisals and lying about the lying. I'm not totally unsympathetic: office politics can get complicated and people want to protect their own livelihoods against external pressures. But if you are going to lie about basic terms of employment and your review process, don't slap yourself on the back about the team player that you are.
