Bittersweet Goodbye to EFS! - Anonymous employee EFS Energy Employee Review

EFS Energy is a small company with a big appetite. They value their employees and your opinions actually feel heard. They are flexible with real life. EFS Energy is in an emerging market and will only get bigger from here on out.

When you really have to own your work, you need to be able to defend your decisions and think for yourself. Nobody is here to hold your hand.

When I was last there, the field teams and engineering teams were excellent. All very hard working and knowledgeable.

CEO has incredibly poor business and communication skills. In the 18 months I was there, the company never had more than 30 employees. I watched 21 people leave the company in that time. 7 of them were fired by the CEO for various reasons including, "the direct reports do no like this manager", "Insubordination", "Just not working out". The CEO questions the value of the people he has hired within months of hiring them. I attribute this mostly to the fact that he is absolutely awful with money and often time has a tough time making payroll and paying subcontractors. I know for a fact that this guy has pulled at least 2 people away from decent paying positions only to turn around and fire them in less than a year. My advice: stay away from this place. There is no way this will ever be a successful company, and it is just a matter of time before it goes under.
