Tough people solving tough problems - Director Form Energy Employee Review

Fast paced company trying to do something very challenging. Great place to learn and grow, but you must be self-driven and ok with rapidly changing dynamics.

Timelines are always too aggressive and never get hit. Demoralizing for the team.

For first time employment it’s a good start. The work experience can take you a long way professionally. This company also won’t fire employees outside of normal layoffs phases or serious violations of company policies (illegal actions).

TLDR: toxic environment/classism/racism/deceptive benefits This place is a good place to learn but not grow. Once you’ve learned what others deem as enough your position responsibilities will grow to compensate managers and scientists failing to meet expectations. Management expects direct reports to not challenge wrongful practices and discourages employee empowerment (or basic rights). There were also some racism issues making professional development challenging for POCs. A lot of employees don’t say anything because of retaliation and the state of the economy allow these issues to run unchecked. Benefits are bare bones and leave medical providers speechless. There are a couple kind benefits but management and HR take issue to researching and asking about benefits. Expectations also include working long after working hours, lowest level employees being held responsible for management failures, working through injury, working through any time off not PTO, working while sick, having to take inperson meetings with sick managers, flexible working schedules being used against employees, and finally the biggest expectation is to be friendly with management and report wrongdoings of other employees be it wasting time or questioning management practices.
