Pros
You will get to work on really interesting projects that are cutting edge in the industry. It’s a great place to get a career started and learn a lot. Coworkers are friendly and helpful.
Kontras
Senior leadership knows that they pay less than industry average. They do not care. There are so many things they know they can do to increase employee morale (letting people work remotely, giving Presidents’ Day/MLK day off, paying industry standard salaries, actually throwing their employees a Christmas party to celebrate their hard work - and, no, a town hall where we watch leadership talk about how great they are does not count) and they will never do it. Perhaps it’s because of Invenergy’s private equity overlords at Blackstone, or perhaps it’s because Polsky will hold on to antiquated styles of work until he retires, but employees are unhappy. Leadership knows this, but they will not act on it. Work life balance is team dependent, some people leave at 4:30 while others are stuck at their desk late into the night. Many team social events revolve around drinking.
