Pros
Impactful Renewable Energy Work: The company is deeply invested in renewable energy projects, which is one of its most commendable attributes. Their projects do help make a real difference in the world of clean energy. Smart colleagues, a lot of kind people. Innovative Projects: At least in the past, the company focused on innovation and forward-thinking. They were always proud of their strategy of finding good sites, but after working in various renewable energy companies, it is nothing unique.
Cons
1) Toxic Company Culture: The work culture can be described as elitist. There is an unspoken, exclusive hierarchy where those from specific social circles (for example, white men from affluent areas like Edina) seem to be more easily favored. 2) Layoffs: For a relatively small company, 2024 layoffs were handled in a cold-hearted manner. There seemed to be a pattern disproportionately affecting employees from certain generations and those with diverse backgrounds. This created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, undermining employee morale. 3) Aggressive Work Style: The company’s work style has been described as intensely aggressive. 4) Surveillance and Lack of Trust: A troubling aspect of the company is its lack of trust. Casual conversations were secretly recorded or monitored behind employees’ backs.
