Pros

Incredible respect and growth opportunities for someone early in their career. The culture is polite and not judgmental while having a level of professionalism.

Cons

There is an occasional lack of structure due to being a small company coming out of being a startup. The flexibility leads to the occasional gap in procedure. If you are not flexible, the engineering experience has limited applications elsewhere in the PNW due to it being a chilled water optimization company.

Pros

The opportunity to be a part of an existing and impactful SaaS product that reduces the carbon footprint, and a company that's expanding into Energy as a Service with a growth trajectory ahead. Ownership over day to day, creating processes and scalability. It's a great group of people and although we are primarily a remote company, we care about maintaining meaningful connection by hosting company gatherings and weekly virtual "huddles" that range in content but keep the entire company engaged and informed.

Cons

Ambiguous at times, requires problem solving and collaborative/growth mindset.

While is it disappointing to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, these insights are valuable as the company continues to invest in our culture and our people. We are currently in a period of rapid growth and evolution as an organization and recognize that navigating such transitions requires clear communication and strong leadership, and we are firmly committed to that standard. To support this, regular leadership updates have been implemented, and we encourage our open door policy for active, transparent dialogue across all levels of the team. All feedback is taken seriously as the organization works to improve the employee experience.
