Frequent layoffs and steady reduction in benefits
Pros
- Good place to learn about the basics of the wind industry - Colleagues are friendly and willing to help - Good client base - Respected organization in the renewables industry, though this is quickly changing since all the talented people are leaving
Cons
The company struggles to remain relevant. Attempts to advance the company technologically have been slow and poorly executed. People are promoted and rewarded based on appearance and charisma rather than performance and ability. This is crippling the company. Pay is well below industry standards and benefits consitently get worse each year. Layoffs are frequent and unpredictable. This creates a negative work environment. Very little support staff available, most of the admin task are pushed onto the project managers and engineers. A large portion of the company is rooted in shipping,oil, and gas. As these industries struggle, the whole company struggles, even the renewables department. Employee feedback is ignored or not gathered.
