Promising group but lacks organization and leadership - Project Manager BIOFerm Energy Systems Employee Review

I want to address the poor review comments since I was very nervous about them when I first started. As far as “poor communication” goes, sometimes a PM assigns you a task without giving you background. This requires you to follow up and ask for more information. So, if you are the kind of person who prefers micromanaging and hand holding, this maybe isn’t the company for you, but if you are self motivated and independent, then you will thrive here. As far as “you are expected to do everything”, its true that roles are very interdisciplinary, but I have never felt overworked. This also can be a pro since it allows you to diversify your skill set rapidly. So, if you are looking for a job where you only have to do the bare minimum, this isn’t the company for you. If you are looking for a company with good growth opportunities that allows you to progress your career, you will do great here. Also, BIOFerm has great benefits. They clearly care about keeping people happy. The company plans potluck lunches for holidays, fun outings every month (kickball team, golfing, happy hour drinks, etc.), and gives very generous gifts during holidays (Swiss hear backpack, custom winter coat, gift cards, etc.). As an engineer, it also offers incredibly stimulating, interesting, motivating work that is incredibly unique to the industry.

They are still growing. At this point they are a big small company, and are still in need of more people.

There were a few people that really made the workplace great! Honestly the only reason I did not quit. Has okay work life balance.

CHRO and CEO. Never have I seen a company of the blind leading the blind. The CEO has no back bone and the intelligence and demeanor of a small child. They expect the world to accommodate and give nothing in return. CHRO demands higher education but isn’t qualified to run a daycare let along a failing business. No growth opportunities for anyone starting here, and as soon as you bring bad news it is your fault. Would not recommend working here.
