Pros

The actual day-to-day team is amazing. It’s full of high-performing renewable energy experts who genuinely care about the mission.

Cons

Honestly? Save yourself the heartbreak and stay away. Since October, they have completely gutted the culture. It went from a mission-driven renewable energy company to a hyper-political club defined by favoritism read GOP politics. Behind the scenes: They used a fake "restructuring" to do quiet layoffs. They shrunk our teams and forced people to reapply for jobs in different cities. They knew people with families and mortgages couldn't just uproot their lives, so it was a calculated move to force 40+ people to quit so they wouldn't have to pay severance. Then they went ahead and hired their own people that weren't even in the cities they had advertised the jobs in. Insane Double Standards: They told us our local offices were "non-essential" to justify pushing us out, but then they immediately turned around and hired leadership that don't live near regional offices. So, they just fly in whenever they feel like it while mandating strict office attendance for everyone else. Management in a nutshell: They started pushing out 20-year renewable energy veterans and replacing them with their old corporate buddies from Chevron and people from the GOP sector. They don't care if you actually know anything about renewable energy anymore; they only care if your political and personal background matches their new agenda. One of the lowest points from this year: When they made us reapply for our jobs, they actually asked people about their personal relationship status to judge if they were "viable" for the team's new direction. They announced this whole restructure on the first hour of a team offsite. It was incredibly toxic. Total Leadership Vacuum: There is zero empathy or real communication here. Leadership doesn't interact with our team. They literally send Copilot AI summaries instead of actually managing or talking to human beings. HR has been completely useless—ignoring emails for over six months and failing to give anyone clear answers about their benefits or transition.
