Opower reviews

The management team needs an overhaul. We have a lot of terrible managers that hurt the teams, more than help. 20% of the people managers are actually good. The rest are terrible. The CEO has a wonderful way of shrouding problems. The company will switch to unlimited PTO and say "we are not taking away your PTO." However, we know that switching from accrued was to clear the books of debt. Be honest. The pay is low. When friends, from other tech companies, hear how much you are paid, their response is to offer you a job or tell you to get out of such a bad relationship. They will not tell you much about how they arrived at their numbers either. If you ask HR, they will state that they only share it with Director level people and when you ask a Director, they will tell you to go to HR. This lack of transparency is smart because they can state that "we are so proud to say that men and women are paid equally [low]." The company misleads with pictures of the company and culture that is much different from reality. Those happy people, they just found out that they are leaving. Those dogs, they do not exist in the SF office because we used our lawyers to look over how to short change our employees, instead of reading a rental agreement that states "no dogs." We are losing many good people. We may have more layoffs again.

As a company that has grown quickly internal communication and peoples accountability needs to be improved
