Pros
At the end of the day the company is doing good work. Utility programs hit their targets and LCI projects showcase both quality engineering and efficient operations management. The customer really is first at Smartwatt.
Cons
All this work is being put into pushing Smartwatts "core values", but something that should be great is really just being used to fire people who pissed off the wrong person or that they can't afford to pay anymore. It's all propaganda.
Have an opinion or original thought that doesn't agree with one of the frat boys in upper management? Not a team player. Not passionate. Bad attitude.
Prefer to keep your head down, lean in and just go to work but don't have an interest in blathering on letting everyone else know how much you're doing? Not competitive. Not solutions oriented. Underperformer.
Basically if you want to be successful here expect to put in more work stroking the right egos and playing the game. If you're the kind of person who likes to spend more time pointing fingers while doing as little work as possible, you'll probably be able to stay here until retirement, but if you'd rather show dedication by getting the work done and putting in the hours you'll probably be fired. Or worse. There really us no credit or value given to those who prefer to walk the walk instead of just talking the talk.
Oh and if you think that after all that that they'll just let you go quietly without humiliating, demeaning or threatening you on the way out, think again. There are no real friends here.
