Growing pains - Operations Innovari Employee Review

Chris Hickman's vision for the utility industry is unparalleled

The work/life balance is tough

True innovation is about finding 'new ways' of doing something old that will create new useful benefits for society and that is what Innovari has set out to do. The best things I like about my job and the culture at Innovari is that it feels like a 'Real' start-up; creating something new, pressure, excitement, being part of something original, immediate goals that must be met, immediate rewards, expansion, change and more change. The work requires multiple competencies in disciplines such as Hardware, Software, Networking, Marketing, Operations and more, which we have very capable people providing those skills. So for me I get to use work experiences that I have built up over the last twenty years with people that have done the same, that's cool!

Still thinking about Cons. A person not willing to work in a start-up culture would not be happy here. Getting past baseline development/quality processes as the company grows has been a challenge, which still could be considered a plus because we are small enough to effectively adapt those processes as we discover what works.
