Pros

Growing fast so lots of opportunity to grow in your career, contribute to and shape the company, work in different roles, and make an impact in the world. This is a company that emphasizes its employees and its environmental mission in everything that it does. It's rapidly growing because of the excellent, highly impactful clean energy work it provides throughout North America to utility clients and government organizations. It has a fun, dedicated work culture due to the passionate, intelligent employees who have chosen this as their place of work and management who are committed to having an impact in the world.

Cons

Growing fast, so tons of work to do! Work can be very fast paced at times as much of it is driven by external client deadlines and the drive to achieve large scale environmental benefits. This is not a super corporate environment, by design, and is one of a medium sized company so those who want a structured and uniform corporate environment with highly defined roles and expectations should seek a larger company.

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

Flexible with scheduling and working remotely Mission-driven Smart, kind, motivated coworkers Relaxed, collaborative office culture Walks the walk! There's a diversity committee, lunch-and-learns, and real efforts to reduce waste and emissions

Cons

Benefits are mostly good but PTO could definitely be higher. High hours targets, though this is somewhat helped by the flexibility and work-from-home option
