Pros

Primrock has a cool business model and strategy, in an interesting and fast growing industry (energy storage and capacity services). It all seems very timely, smart and successful.

Cons

The company - a small startup in the energy storage (large-scale batteries) and capacity services - struggles big time with retention of employees. In fact, during my brief time there we saw a 40% churn and an average tenure of around 4-6 months - for both junior and senior employees. The leadership (founding duo) at Primrock is simply horrifying: authoritarian, micromanaging, erratic and inefficient. On top of this, they are incapable / unwilling to change. I have never in my career seen anything so dysfunctional. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

Pros

- I learned a lot during my time here. - Good pay, which makes it a good option for part-timers who work from home or students looking for a side job while attending school.

Cons

- Insane employee churn. The high turnover rate is problematic, I've never seen or heard of anything like this before. - As noted in other reviews, the treatment of employees is poor. The work environment is highly stressful and demoralizing. Although I was treated relatively well compared to some colleagues, I don’t know why. Witnessing how the bosses treated others was distressing and a significant factor in my decision to leave, in addition to the other cons. - The organization is very inefficient, leading to a lot of wasted talent and potential. Processes and workflows are poorly managed, contributing to frustration among all employees. - The bosses have a crazy need for controlling every aspect of the work, stifling creativity and independence. - The office location is inconvenient, with the nearest metro station being 20 minutes walk away. - Apart from the location, you will end up hating yourself going into the office every day. The small space feels sterile, there’s constant door slamming, and the environment makes you feel tense with your shoulders up by your ears constantly. - For full-time workers, don’t let the salary lure you in; the negative aspects of working here outweigh the financial benefits.

Pros

Nothing but incredible, supportive colleagues.

Cons

-Extremely toxic work environment and unfair treatment. Employees do not feel safe at work. Most either quit or get fired within a few months. -Shockingly poor leadership. The situation is so bizarre it feels unreal. Planning is inadequate, and employees are constantly thrown from one project or task to another with impossible deadlines and unclear instructions. -Lack of constructive feedback. Instead of discussing solutions, employees are met with reprimands. -Employees get fired via text messages outside of working hours with no explanation whatsoever. -Promised salary increases never materialize. -The company is in poor financial health and relies on continuous external funding to stay afloat.
