Pros

E Source has really awesome, and passionate employees who care about the mission of the company, and are pleasures to work with. The company also offers a lot of flexibility in terms of work-life balance and remote work.

Cons

Most of the negative reviews on here are accurate. E Source has an management class that spends the entire day in meetings amongst themselves that accomplish nothing. Most of the work is done by researchers who are making 20-50% below their market value. E Source does little to retain or foster talent, and the research department has seen a mass exodus for the past couple of months. With E Source's owners emphasis on growth, it seems unlikely that this will change.

Pros

The people who are directly involved with project work are smart and passionate. Project work is interesting and feels meaningful

Cons

C-suite leadership is hyper-focused on profits. I worry this will lead to higher turnover, lower work quality, and less happy clients over time. C-suite leadership also seems to make decisions in a vacuum without consulting the teams who are actually impacted by those decisions There is limited investment in employees and our professional growth. Clunky systems, unclear expectations, and poor communication between departments. Limited to no investment in culture, employee well-being, or team cohesion
