Stay far far far away. - Senior Engineer Zero Carbon Systems Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We take feedback like this seriously, especially when it comes from current team members, and we recognize the importance of addressing concerns openly and constructively. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience has not reflected the environment we strive to create. Our mission in clean energy is something we care deeply about, but we also know that a meaningful mission must be supported by a workplace where employees feel respected, supported, and empowered. You raised several important concerns — including leadership approach, communication, transparency, recognition, and follow-through on commitments. These are critical elements of a healthy organization, and we acknowledge that when they fall short, it has a real impact on our team. We want to be clear on a few points: • Employee feedback and reviews: We do not support or condone pressuring employees to post reviews. Feedback—positive or negative—should always be voluntary and authentic. If any employee has felt otherwise, that is something we take very seriously and are actively addressing. • Communication and transparency: We recognize the need for clearer direction, consistent communication, and better visibility into company goals and priorities. Improving this is an active focus, including more structured goal-setting and regular updates from leadership. • Management and autonomy: We are continuing to invest in leadership development to ensure managers are empowering their teams rather than creating unnecessary friction. Building trust and giving teams the autonomy to do their best work is a priority. • Recognition, growth, and commitments: We agree that employees should see a clear connection between their contributions and company progress, and that commitments—especially around compensation—must be handled with transparency and integrity. Where we have fallen short, we are working to improve both communication and consistency. We also recognize that turnover and employee sentiment are important indicators, and we are actively working to better understand and address underlying causes. We appreciate you sharing this perspective. While we may not get everything right, we are committed to learning, improving, and building a company where talented people can do meaningful work and feel valued while doing it. If you are open to continuing the conversation, we encourage you to reach out directly to HR or leadership so we can better understand your experience and work toward meaningful improvements.
