Pros
Making the world better through increases in renewable energy. Very passionate colleagues who care deeply about the mission. Compensation is quite good, especially for renewable energy, though it’s lost value in time due to poor stock price and a step away from RSU allocation.
Cons
North America senior leaders foster, encourage and reward an exclusive all-white environment (largely male) made up of the same individuals that are consistently promoted and spotlighted. They cultivate a high school ‘clique’ environment, and at one point had a senior leader who openly bragged about “hiring people like him” (white, male, and a yes-man who wouldn’t question his demands). The company does an awful job performance managing people, and instead conducts regular layoffs. There are few career advancement opportunities, little-to-no coaching or training, extremely high demands of employees even in entry-level jobs, and management can’t seem to understand why morale is low. There used to be flexibility offered with working from home, but it seems most managers no longer trust their employees enough to work remotely, though senior leaders are often gone without notice and awarded all the flexibility they desire.
