Pros

The location is the only thing I can think of.

Cons

Worked with EPE for about a year and I knew I should exit this company. I was expecting to develop my career there, but it turned out that did not work. There was too much work for you and you would get overwhelmed after a few months. You had to finish all tasks without thinking to meet the deadlines. There was little room to learn from what you just completed. You felt exhausted every day, and this is not a good work-life balance company for sure. The salary was not competitive, and you had to work overtime without any compensation. You would have a bonus based on your performance and unclear criteria. The bonus could be interpreted as a small portion of your overtime work. You should expect micro-management, the HR was small, and nothing that you could rely on for any issues in the company.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m happy to hear that you feel well compensated and find the incredible value in the work we do. We do have a high-pressure work environment and a lot of work coming in. We have high quality standards and that can put pressure on some staff to occasionally spend additional hours to meet. These are a result of our incredible growth that we are experiencing along with a very demanding industry. With any hypergrowth environment comes some growing pains and we are not exempt from this. We are however doing everything we can to grow in a smart and strategic manner. EPE is experiencing an incredible time in our company and through this evolution we are hiring incredible talent, working towards improving our processes, and renovating our physical offices. Our President has been the leader of these strategic growth opportunities and has worked tirelessly to lead us into the future of energy. Our President has led us in the last few months through an incredible opportunity to bring more capital to the company, and through transactions that do not lend themselves to transparency at the time. Change and a fast-growing pace is not always easy for everyone to embrace, but we continue to hold quarterly global townhalls where we share company performance openly and communicate updates. We hope that you can trust that everything we do here is with the best intentions and our employees will continue to be our greatest asset. Please feel free to use our open-door environment to share any additional concerns you may have with your manager, HR, or our Executive Team, including our President whose door is always open. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate that you find our benefits package to be excellent. We work hard to ensure we are offering the best compensation and benefits plans possible. I believe that your concerns regarding the wages were prior to our communication about salary adjustments for 2022 and we know that we have addressed that topic with our actions. I appreciate your concern for our company leadership and practices, but our retention rate is 95% and we feel that speaks volumes to our culture. Through the end of 2021 we were experiencing incredible growth of our company and the thrilling realization that we now have investors who have confirmed what we already knew about our people and the future of our company and industry. However, during this process you probably felt some of these growing pains. Our CEO and President was involved in many of the important decisions that needed to be made in the best interest of the company and our family of employees, and so her involvement in day-to-day operations was necessary at the time and during the process. Regarding your comments around our workplace safety and building code we are currently planning and beginning the early stages of renovations on our building. Our office space is the former Austin music venue known as The Backyard. It is a beautiful and special piece of local history, and we are proud to call it our home. Understandably an original music venue comes with some character that we both cherish and are working to make efficient and functional, but that we are to preserve. Since the onset of the Covid pandemic we have allowed employees to work from home as they like and have started hiring a remote workforce as well. For those who do not wish to be onsite we provide full home office equipment setups until our renovations are fully executed and intend to continue the work from home option after the renovations are done. Thank you.
