Pros
Most employees are extremely passionate about decarbonization and the expansion of renewables. There is no questions that the company is cleaning up the grid and making a positive impact.
Cons
The social scene felt a little like a frat house. Most of the team bonding activities revolved around alcohol, and I overheard executives making disparaging/bullying comments about their peers and lower-level employees at company-sponsored events on several occasions. At least on my team, everyone at a manager position or above was a white male, and most of the entry level positions were filled by white women. Additionally, I felt the amount of respect given to any employee was solely related to the time spent at the company, and not at all to previous educational or professional experiences. I did sense that this "boys club" dynamic trickled down directly from Polsky's close knit top circle- I have so much respect for the women at this company who were able to push through to the top, but I personally do not have the patience to wait around for a major cultural shift that Invenergy is in desperate need of.
