Pros
-You will work with some of the best and smartest people that you will ever meet -The work can be interesting, but be prepared to be overworked -It is a well known company within the energy industry and a good place to get started
Kontras
-Pay is low compared to competitors and you need to basically hope you never have to use your health insurance -You get a decent amount of PTO days but that includes your sick time for the year and they provide a limited number of holidays off in comparison to just about every other company -The company is very top heavy and it will never cease to amaze you the sheer number of VPs, SVPs, and EVPs that exist. With that being said, actual leadership within the company is lacking to say the least because they care more about their own pay and status than the wellbeing of their employees. Senior leadership is also made up of predominantly older white men that collectively lack a single original thought of their own and are simply there to enforce the wishes of Michael Polsky -They do not value any sort of work life balance and at the insistence of the owner have eliminated the previous hybrid WFH policy. Their old school way of thinking still equates productivity to seats in a chair unless of course they need you to work long hours to complete a task - only then is it perfectly acceptable to log on nights and weekends from the comfort of your home -You are seen and treated as replaceable, even if you are a top performer -They grew too fast and hired too many people and now they are trying to force people out or lay people off (we haven’t forgotten about the NY office yet have we??)
