Pros

Fast progression, good training, hybrid working

Cons

VERY high and stressful workload, high turnover rate, unpaid overtime, no work/life balance, you are “progressed” to new roles but they are just add-ons to the role of energy specialist, so you are juggling multiple jobs at the same time.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
