Pros

Remote work, a lot of projects going on most of their locations.

Cons

They promise a fantastic opportunity but in reality, you end up doing ALL the work well outside your job description and work long hours on projects you were not hired to do but yet you crush it, making a huge impact that everyone is benefiting from (besides the person who actually did the work). This resulted in sacrificing any bonus opportunities you were promised when hired because you’re too busy doing your managers job to even do your own. Then as a “thank you” for all your efforts, the manager actually takes credit for your achievements and ideas. As if that’s not bad enough, this manager tells you what you want to hear praising you etc but in reality they are telling the higher ups a different story and giving you no credit. Very sneaky and deceitful but senior management is clueless this goes on. Don’t make the same mistake I did but if you do accept any opportunity here, watch your back.

First, thank you for leaving your comment - companies like QE Solar rely on information from former and current employees to help find and make improvements. We're sorry you had a difficult experience at QE in your time here. It sounds like you were here during a time of extended growth, and in those moments we all tend to pitch in and make an impact, and as our company grows, tenured employees tend to shoulder new work outside of their 'job description' - that's true in any company! And sometimes managerial relationships are really hard to navigate, so we encourage you to do some training in how to deliver upward feedback, voice your concerns, and also be transparent with your own leadership going forward. We're doing a lot to help upskill our managers (who are mostly organically promoted from within, by the way!) to take on leadership and build their managerial presence. So, if you're a job seeker and reading this review, please know we have top notch managers, training, and teams who get a lot of incredible credit for the hard work they do. One person's experience is not that of the whole. Come and check us out!
