Pros

Office is located near the Ferry Building

Cons

Too many to list.... This is a high level over view - The salary offered is not market competitive, they will tell you it is, but double check first before accepting an offer - Toxic work culture, you will be expected to work long hours and be happy about it, and you will not receive recognition or fair compensation - Employee burn out due to outdated business practices, inefficiency, poor communication, high level of data entry, unnecessary stress put on employees from middle management, disorganised, lack of training and no clear direction is provided by middle management/upper management - Miscommunication/nonexistent communication between employees and upper management, middle management does not filter information to the upper management nor does information come from the upper management. Middle management acts like a "bottle neck" and will only act in their best interest, even throwing employees under the bus is a common business practice in the SF office - Upper management is focused on closing deals which leaves middle management with no guidance or accountability on how to manage their teams, depending on the department, middle managers will either micromanage, bully or ignore you - There are rules and policies, however those rules and policies do not apply to staff that have been with the company 10+ years - HR will not help employees and any information or feedback you provide to HR will be passed on to your manager, and you will suffer repercussions such as a poor performance review, and thus it will affect your bonus - Only one health insurance plan is provided, you do not get an option like most employers will offer you, and the plan offered is a high deductible plan so it's expensive!

Pros

Great peer level people and potential to grow in the renewable energy sector

Cons

My experience did not match the company’s messaging around being “family-oriented” or “safety-first.” Communication from leadership was inconsistent, expectations shifted without clarity, and follow-through on development was limited. Managers were often placed into people-lead roles without enough training or support, which contributed to avoidable stress, confusion, and a culture where employees didn’t feel comfortable speaking up. Psychological safety was lacking—raising concerns or offering constructive feedback didn’t consistently feel welcomed, especially during performance conversations. In my view, the company loses strong talent because employee growth and healthy leadership practices are not prioritized, and decisions can feel more relationship-driven than transparent. If you’re looking for a workplace with strong communication, leader development, and a true speak-up culture, this may not be the right fit.
