Pros

There are no pros to working at E Source. Private Equity bought this place about 2 years ago and it's been hacking and whacking ever since.

Cons

Senior leaders spent years building up company values and culture only to completely abandon them when they sold out to Private Equity. Middle management is supremely interested in pleasing those above them rather than advocating and supporting their direct reports. Recent promotions based almost entirely on favoritism and there is very little opportunity for advancement. Pay is some of the lowest in the industry and benefits are below average. I encourage everyone to look elsewhere for their employment.

Pros

The people who are directly involved with project work are smart and passionate. Project work is interesting and feels meaningful

Cons

C-suite leadership is hyper-focused on profits. I worry this will lead to higher turnover, lower work quality, and less happy clients over time. C-suite leadership also seems to make decisions in a vacuum without consulting the teams who are actually impacted by those decisions There is limited investment in employees and our professional growth. Clunky systems, unclear expectations, and poor communication between departments. Limited to no investment in culture, employee well-being, or team cohesion
