Pros

- Entry for college graduates into the renewables industry - Strong network of young peers - Ability to contribute to meaningful projects

Cons

- Invenergy is to renewables what the Big 4 are to accounting and consulting (churn and burn). Talented young people are incentived to leave after a few years experience for better pay and less stress. As a result, there are few higher level leaders (manager/director and above) that grew into their roles from an entry level position and the vast majority are external hires who are quickly granted insight into key decisions. Such a system burns out and demoralizes previously eager employees while leaving key projects in constant state of transition. - The company can't decide whether managers should focus on actually managing/training people or working on key projects, so they do both to the detriment of their employees growth. Biannual reviews are often the only time true feedback is given, and such feedback is frequently used to deny raises or promotions. No procedures exist for manager accountability to contest unfair reviews. Promotion criteria is set by each department head but never communicated, so advancement is predicated on mind reading and self learning rather than achieving success in what leadership asks directly - Success and Retention Plan compensation is minimal if you are not brought on at manager plus level. - DEI Initiatives are employee driven and not a real leadership priority. One enterprising employee started a resource group for new employees to meet each other and talk about career growth. Such a group arguably wouldn't need to exist if their managers were invested in them.

Pros

First rate IT systems and workplace flexibility, seems to be a desire to bring in minority hires which is good.

Cons

Company grows too fast for its own good - as a result knowledge base is scant and employees become overburdened with no relief. Poor financial performance, constant turnover due to understaffing and poor support by human resources/executive committee. Accountants are tasked with too many overlapping duties with other departments. For example, while there are AP and Treasury departments accountants will be burdened with completing clerical tasks that AP and Treasury are unwilling to take on. Obviously the below market pay is a problem too, especially when lumping in these other extra tasks. Inability to take vacation/while taking vacation one must be available to work. Disengaged/burnt out management.

Pros

Good Benefits and Bonuses. Good people to work with at staff level.

Cons

Toxic Culture, you are in the in group or out. If you are out they will let you go in a heartbeat.
