Pros

Permanent remote work; non-management staff is great to work with

Cons

There is a complete misalignment of direction between C-Suite leadership and the efforts the VP/Director level give to the teams. It doesn't seem that the highest level of leadership actually knows what's going on within the team. We have "chief engineers" that may know technical items well, completely lack an understanding of how to run projects, yet constantly override project team decisions. Recent layoffs and sending of jobs offshore have really hurt morale and made collaboration on projects extremely difficult and inefficient. Compensation is far below average for the industry, and there is little room for growth. Even when the company was actively growing, management level hires were always external without even a marginal internal search. The bonus schedule contains a quota of employees by gender in order to get paid the full bonus

Pros

Flexible, decent health care, work from home

Cons

As a dedicated employee of Fluence, I feel compelled to express my deep concern regarding recent decisions made by our HR department that undermine our commitment to diversity and inclusion. The termination of two long-standing Black women who led our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts, only to be replaced by white women, is not just disheartening; it is a stark contradiction to the values we profess as a company. Fluence has a mission to power the world, yet our organization does not reflect the rich diversity of that world. This latest decision has shaken my faith in our leadership and what we stand for. I believe that our workplace should be a beacon of inclusivity, where all voices are heard and valued, especially those from historically marginalized communities. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend Fluence as a place of employment, particularly for Black individuals and, notably, Black women. Our company needs to take a hard look at its priorities and the message it sends with its actions. Over the past few months, I have taken the initiative to educate myself on issues of race, class, and DEI. I strongly encourage my colleagues, especially those in HR, to engage in similar educational pursuits. A valuable starting point is the book *White Fragility*—it offers critical insights into the dynamics of race in the workplace. It is time for Fluence to confront these uncomfortable truths and commit to fostering a genuinely inclusive environment. Let us not only talk about diversity but actively work towards it in every aspect of our company culture.

Pros

Pretty good pay. Pretty good benefits. Lots of fantastic people to work with.

Cons

Deeply rooted in DEI initiatives (engaging in discrimination). Deeply rooted in ESG initiatives. Often poorly organized and chaotic. High turnover rate. Long hours, heavy workloads. Unlimited PTO that you feel you can never use. Lacking clear and understandable expectations and communications. Often very poor direction and conflicting information. Effective collaboration often times lacking. CEO has very poor approval (for reasons).
