Pros

Enviva is a great place to work on paper: - Great health benefits - Competitive salary - Transportation (metro/parking) benefits - Abundance of snacks about the office (fruits, granola bars, breakfast, lunches, etc. etc.) - Very clean and up to date offices - Generous holiday bonus

Cons

Enviva is very much a start up. It's growing at a much faster rate than the employees can keep up. - Employees across the company are overworked. - There is little to no genuine recognition of work. - There is absolutely no work-life balance. Do not be fooled. This does not exist at Enviva as much as management would like to say otherwise. - You will be tied to your laptop and phone. - Weekend work is required as well as work over the holidays and your vacation. - Most folks are friendly but so stressed that often times you won't get to know who you're working with. - Management/senior leadership work so much they either don't have the time to manage or can't actually manage. - It's every man for themselves. "Team" or "department" is just a word to group people together but it's quite rare when folks have each other's backs, which is extremely unfortunate because most people are very nice and good at their jobs. - There is a clear division of power (in fact, the executive suite is closed off by a glass door), making a lot of employees tip toe around executives. - Extremely high turn over rate.
