Pros

CPower continues to lead the market in both reputation and expertise. CEO, Mike Smith provides strong leadership to innovate critical areas of the company, drive cultural initiatives that have been exciting like Sales launch and GridFuture, while preparing the company for the upcoming NRG acquisition. AI tools are also being incorporated into areas of the company with great results. It’s been good to see a renewed excitement with successful projects.

Cons

Ability to get promoted within departments is difficult, unless you quit, then you get a raise and headcount. Operations VPs-Operations and Customer Service continue be venomous and use intimidation causing tremendous stress and anxiety across a set of employees. This pair is highly protected by COO and shielded from current HR scrutiny, as HR reports to COO. Yet, others outside this trio receive the full wrath of legal. Affected employees are eager to engage with NRG HR to address and eradicate next year.

Pros

I like the size of the organization, at about 200 employees. It's a good size to be able to propose and execute solutions that make an impact. The pay is good and the ability to work remote is great (for those who don't live in Baltimore). With NRG recently acquiring CPower, it's uncertain how salary and work in general is going to be impacted after the integration. Before NRG acquired CPower, I would have recommended the company to a friend or colleague. However, right now, there is too much uncertainty for me to feel comfortable recommending.

Cons

Because of the size, for some roles, there aren't a lot of career advancement opportunities. The only way for me to progress would be leaving the company and finding a higher level position with another company (probably larger).
