Stay Clear of SEW - Team Leader Smart Energy Water Employee Review

Pros

Every good leader and team member seems to be interviewing and exploring opportunities at other organizations

Cons

By far the most dishonest and toxic environment I've ever been exposed to. Starting from the false promises made during the interview process, to how projects are sold and delivered, even to how clients are communicated with. Leadership expectations placed on employees are unclear at best and completely ludicrous at worst. Employees regularly complain about being overworked, under appreciated, and verbally crushed by leadership. The US employees are also expected to work both US and India hours (e.g. after each 10-12 hour work day, US employees are expected to participate in late night calls with India every night until 1-2am). No matter how desperate you are to find a job, do not accept a role at SEW.

Pros

The starting and base compensation is exceptionally competitive and easily the biggest draw to the company.

Cons

Immense Turnover Rate: There is a massive and noticeable revolving door here. Employee turnover is incredibly high across teams, which severely impacts day-to-day operations and team continuity. Outdated Technology & Vision: The company relies heavily on old technology and lacks a modern, forward-thinking vision. Innovation is minimal, making it difficult to progress or feel like you are building future-proof skills. Unhappy Clients: Due to operational gaps and outdated systems, client satisfaction is low. You will likely spend a lot of time managing frustrated customers and dealing with the fallout of unmet expectations. Unethical Executive Management: Leadership actions and decisions often cross into unethical territory. There is a distinct lack of transparency, integrity, and trust from the executive level down, which heavily damages company morale.
