Pros
Free coffee and occasional catered food — a small perk that quickly fades against the broader work experience.
Cons
A company is defined by how it treats its people—and Ormat fails miserably on that front. Throughout my time there, we received near-weekly announcements of colleagues either resigning or being terminated. The turnover rate is incredibly high, with most employees lasting less than 2 years—this alone speaks volumes about the environment. What drives people away is not the work itself, but the toxic culture rooted in poor management, internal politics, and a complete lack of accountability from senior leadership. Bullying and retaliation are not uncommon, and HR appears more interested in shielding the company than supporting employees. There is no meaningful career development, no mentorship, and no recognition for effort or initiative. Employees are often overworked and underappreciated, and many feel isolated or even punished for raising concerns. This company may offer a foot in the door, but it is far from a place to grow. It’s an exploitative environment that runs on burnout and fear. Stay away if you value your mental health, professional development, or basic respect as a worker.
