Good work-life balance but limited ownership and annoying sprints - Software Engineer Energy Exemplar Employee Review

EE operates in a genuinely exciting space at the intersection of energy transition, AI-driven grid complexity, and advanced market simulation. PLEXOS and Adapt2 are highly credible, industry-respected platform with deep customer adoption. The company has strong domain expertise across product, solutions, and sales, with teams that understand energy markets at a high level. There is real autonomy for those who want to build and own outcomes, and performance is recognized. The culture is supportive, with leadership and HR demonstrating a strong commitment to employees, especially during critical moments.

As the US commercial organization continues to scale, there is an opportunity to further streamline sales processes and enhance cross-functional alignment to fully capitalize on market demand. Continued investment in data and platform capabilities will help meet evolving customer expectations and unlock additional growth.

The best PE investment team(s) in Blackstone and Vista supporting the business.

Legacy founder led leaders still in charge running it as a founder led company, as opposed to an Enterprise software business. The Chief People officer based in AU calls all the shots, and the CEO, who has very poor employee respect falls in line. The morale is toxic, as a result of these two legacy leaders that remain. Once Blackstone/Vista make the leadership change the business has a chance to recover, until then, it’s a sinking ship.
