Opower reviews

Thanks for your review and the feedback. We appreciate being given an opportunity to address any concerns, offer a different perspective, or make adjustments to shape Opower as a best place to work. Also happy to hear you love our company mission, pay, and San Francisco location. Slacking: If someone’s goal was to slack, you are right, that might be easy to do. However, we favor trusting our employees over micromanaging them. We are thankful for the hundreds of employee contributors that are driving our company mission and helping reduce energy usage across the world, all the while being trusted that they’re giving it their all. Massages and dogs in the office: We do bring a massage therapist in weekly for employees to get a free massage, but you are correct that not every employee gets a massage every week. It is encouraged to rotate turns every other week, to allow everyone wanting a massage an opportunity. Also, all of Opower is dog friendly. Unfortunately, our current San Francisco location has a strict building policy that only permits service dogs, which is pretty common in the city. We would love for that to change! Office space: We hear you! The rapid growth of Opower has proven to be a challenge when it comes to meeting space. Good news is we just filed for a permit to build 3 more meeting rooms in our SF location. We recently added couches and chairs throughout the floor to provide places to get comfortable or have an impromptu meeting. Also, we would love for everyone to make their desk space their own. It’s a big eye opener to see things through an employee's eyes, so thank you again for the review.
