Pros

Flexibility, nice colleagues, interesting projects in the EU energy sector and some interesting startups in portfolio

Cons

Highly political internal environment that hinders the companies own progress, no HR means that managers are left unchecked. A lot of sexism in some departments and in general favourism for those who have been there forever and are not open to new ideas, change or new ways of working. Very siloed between regional offices and corporate sometimes making it very difficult to execute simple tasks. Very high turnover. Big egos get in the way of progress.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to work with a variety of people. Work is interesting and often requires creative problem-solving. People are friendly and helpful. Lots of autonomy

Cons

Distributed & remote company means some silos, but not unreasonably so. Central does not understand and thus cannot support all the different business units making it difficult for non-standard work to get done. Clunky and restrictive procurement processes thwart agility and speed.
