Pros
Opower is a company that truly believes in being double bottom line - helping its customers succeed while cutting carbon emissions. There is very few companies at the intersection of clean tech and advanced data analytics that have earned the respect of the market and the admiration of their clients like Opower has. More importantly, fewer companies value their people like Opower does. It is not uncommon to celebrate an employee's 4-year anniversary with a personalized gift OR give away surprise trips as part of a holiday raffles and employee referral bonus programs. The Perks are great and the salaries are on par with market. Most of all, the people here are smart and genuinely interested in making a difference to how energy efficiency is thought about in the US of A as well as globally. Opower is an Owesome experience and probably one of the best places to build a career in CleanTech and Software right now.
Cons
The O-team has always believed in working hard and playing harder. However, the recent IPO has left teams unclear on what the future budgets for expansion are going to look like. There has been a lack of focus on training until recently as well - now there is a rush to correct course and make up for it !
