Invenergy reviews

The vast majority of upper management are white men over 50. This lack of diverse backgrounds promotes a good old boys club culture. While the company likes to promote its DEI efforts, they are not a priority, and there is no culture of DEI within the company. This has driven decisions such as the return to a full time in the office schedule. No consideration was given to the impact this would have on working parents, neurodivergent employees, and non-white employees, all of whom benefit greatly from hybrid work schedules. This decision makes sense, given that it was made by older white men. Overall, there needs to be more consideration for employees at the company, as upper management does not seem to care about its greatest asset.

The social scene felt a little like a frat house. Most of the team bonding activities revolved around alcohol, and I overheard executives making disparaging/bullying comments about their peers and lower-level employees at company-sponsored events on several occasions. At least on my team, everyone at a manager position or above was a white male, and most of the entry level positions were filled by white women. Additionally, I felt the amount of respect given to any employee was solely related to the time spent at the company, and not at all to previous educational or professional experiences. I did sense that this "boys club" dynamic trickled down directly from Polsky's close knit top circle- I have so much respect for the women at this company who were able to push through to the top, but I personally do not have the patience to wait around for a major cultural shift that Invenergy is in desperate need of.
