Bad work culture - Analyst Elevation Energy Group Employee Review

Elevation is a rare entity in the energy trading world and an overall great place to work. The trading & ops team is very supportive and genuinely team-oriented. Management not only fosters a positive work environment, but is also transparent and trustworthy. People who exhibit hard work, humility, and entrepreneurial spirit will actually advance to new career opportunities (unlike other trading houses which often reward competitive / ego-driven employees, or give empty promises to new hires about career scope). If you make mistakes or are overwhelmed with workload, the team is empathetic and will help where they can. On top of all of this, Elevation is supportive of the green energy transition, which colors internal discussions and keeps things interesting. If you get an offer, I would give Elevation a chance. It is a dynamic and forward-looking company. I think you will be surprised to the upside!

Some administrative programs are extremely difficult to use

The people are the best part. I got to work with a ton of smart, savvy, helpful and overall great people. The pay was well above average for the position that I took. I had great exposure and experience to the accounting field in a way I never had before and I learned so much in such a short time. What I learned at Elevation set me up for success in my subsequent career choices!

There were some issues with communication about performance and expectations. Most of this was due to the growing pains of a start up and I still felt like a valued part of the company. The annual evaluation system could have been better structured. I feel like too much influence was given to the direct manager.
