Pros

The mission is absolutely the best part about it. Also, the team in Arlington is absolutely the best and friendliest of any software company I've ever worked at. People really care about their jobs and are endlessly inventive

Cons

Long hours are expected. The SF office has almost no interest in building cross-department or cross-team relationships that are not strictly business. It's an entirely different culture from the Arlington office. The payscale is competitive, but on the lower end of competitive

So good to hear you are happy and thank you for the feedback. We definitely want camaraderie between the east and west coasts and globally. We're in the process of building more conference rooms in the San Francisco office, in hopes San Francisco Oployees will have the opportunity to have longer meetings via video conference with other locations. We agree that time is important!

Pros

Everyone was friendly to work with. Surprisingly well run as a company.

Cons

Not sure how their culture has changed after being acquired by Oracle. Betting it was for the worse.

Pros

Every day at Opower was inspiring - the people are smart, new ideas are always being brought to the table, and everyone is motivated to do their best work because the company is doing good things for the world. People take each other seriously at work but also have so much in common that you end up with many friends outside of the office, and those relationships range across all levels - I count my old manager as one of my closest friends and will always turn to some of the company's senior leadership for life and career advice.

Cons

Though things settled down a bit post-IPO, I'd still say work/life balance is tough at Opower. People work hard because they love what they do, but they're still working really, really hard. Also, the transition from one primary product line to multiple product lines has been rocky, particularly as oil prices have been tanking and screwing with the entire industry. As the energy world settles out so too will Opower, as long as they solidify their newer products.
