Watch your back

Pros

Great mission driven company (energy efficiency really matters). Most of the individual contributors are smart and hard working.

Cons

The management team is duplicitous at best. If you're Director level or higher, watch your back. The C-level team fired a ton of Directors in the 2 years prior to IPO. It didn't matter how much you'd contributed to the company's growth and success. If you were middle management, your head was on the chopping block. Maybe things are better now the IPO has happened, but who knows?

Great place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to join in your early career - you will learn things very fast and there is excellent collaboration and interaction professionally. Also a lot of support from co-workers for career growth, learning, etc. Organization adopts latest technologies, so great place to stay up-to-date on new technologies.

Cons

Takes a lot of time to stay on par with all the smart people. Sometimes you can get overworked because of deadlines. Still new in some areas (such as Systems setup) so takes longer to get response cross-department.
