Energy Exemplar as a company

Pros

It's an interesting job and you get good experience in consultancy if it's your first job in this field.

Cons

The management are terrible. They violated the contract on multiple occasions for all employees I spoke to. They are directly rude and aggressive. The attrition rate is horrendous and they failed to pay me correctly and respond to my requests about this. If you apply there ask to speak to a current employee and ask if they've been happy about their pay and work life there, ask management what the attrition rate is, ask them why an entire office left at once in America, ask them why they only offer the minimum sick leave, holiday and everything else that's legally required in each country.

Reactive Leadership Creates a Toxic Enviro

Anonymous employee

Pros

Individual contributors collaborate and support one another. A few pockets of the organization try to maintain professionalism to despite the many challenges.

Cons

The biggest issue is the leadership culture. Leaders react impulsively rather than making measured, thoughtful decisions. This reactive behavior trickles down and creates instability, confusion, and mistrust among employees. Feedback is frequently delivered in a harsh or emotionally charged manner, sometimes contradicting previous guidance and with no support to solve the issue. Priorities shift without warning, and employees often feel blamed for problems caused by poor planning. This unpredictability creates a toxic atmosphere where people feel on edge, hesitant to speak up, and unsure about expectations. Most of the staff is burnt out and frustrated. Little to no career path to move up unless you play corporate politics extremely well and willing to endure a lot of psychological unsafe treatment by leadership to meet unrealistic expectations.
