Brutal place to work

Pros

Location is nice - Reno, NV

Cons

Low pay, long hours. Expected to work 50+ hours a week with below average pay and painfull yslow apporvals from a few centralized decision makers allowed to make decsiions. Often helkd accountable for items you do not have authoruity to change Ormat leadership likes to complain but will not allow middle maanges to make independent decisions. It turns into a blame game and a very political place to work. Everyone sucks up to the Sr. VP's and they are new, so don't have a clue what's really going on but like many executives, are full of pride and hubris and believe they know everything. Ormat lacks integrity as a company. Broken promises and flat out lies are not something anyone should have to cope with professionally.

Unsustainable Workloads and Subpar Pay

Pros

coworkers and US engineering technical support teams

Cons

Will not advance unless you are from Israel. Raises wayyyyy less than inflation. Bonuses are a joke and just seem to be random. A giant slap to the face when you are annually rated above average. Work life balance does not exist. No career advancement paths. Lack of communication, goals, and changing priorities hourly. No mentorship, lack of HR accountability for issues, poor pay, and toxic management culture who cares more about paying fines and producing than it does about the safety and well being of it's employees and communities it works in.
