Pros

-Very easy work, just show up and do your job -Remote work -Equipment provided by company -Travel reimbursement

Cons

This company is transitioning from being a startup into being a nationwide corporation. But this is the core of their issues. The managers don't have formal manager experience. They were promoted from within for their performance, but they don't understand what employees need from management. They are so focused on the work that they don't understand the required background support that management needs to provide for employees to thrive and the company to find success. They have a bad reputation in the industry for charging more hours than were worked, and for doing work that doesn't fulfill the standards that are expected from customers. Lastly, every single person from the top of the company to front line management take no accountability for their short comings. They will constantly point out how they fulfill the bare minimum requirements, and how that justifies the lack of improvement on their part. Just read some of the responses on Glassdoor. They will not take responsibility for the criticism that is levied against them. They will blame extrinsic factors as to why they can't improve or be better.

Pros

QE Solar is growing and there are a lot of opportunities to join from entry level to more advanced technical, electrical, or customer-facing roles. Management is engaged, knowledgeable, and involved. The pay structure is very good, and we often find opportunities for overtime or bonuses depending on your position. Safety is a priority and field employees receive PPE and annual budget for clothing and boots. The team works hard and gets along well.

Cons

The workforce is mostly remote, so you may not interact face to face with other employees often.

Pros

The company operates in an interesting industry and some teams are made up of experienced professionals who genuinely care about the work. There is potential if leadership aligns more closely with operational realities.

Cons

here appears to be a growing disconnect between leadership and the technical and operational aspects of the business. In several instances, leadership discussions and interviews do not explore core topics such as portfolio governance, operational KPIs, contract management, or time-and-materials (T&M) billing discipline. These are fundamental components of running service and asset portfolios effectively, yet they are often overlooked. Employees who focus on operational rigor sometimes feel undervalued, while others are described internally as “hiding under the radar” and eventually managed out rather than coached or developed. This creates uncertainty and contributes to turnover. Work-life balance can also be inconsistent. Some employees report difficulty taking planned time off, which adds to the perception that leadership priorities are not aligned with sustainable team management. Overall, the organization would benefit from leadership with deeper operational and technical experience, as well as stronger engagement with the teams responsible for executing the work.
