Pros

The scope of renewable energy if aligned with passion. Straightforward CEO. A few good people. Tough work will force you to learn fast. Toxic culture makes you mentally stronger.

Cons

Heavy department cross fire. Departments hiding secrets from one another and not working together to resolve issues. Big time communication issues. A lot of finger pointing. It's a buffet of selfish and self centered people; particularly at the level of manager and above. A lot of biased favouritism. Some management who can't take constructive critism. Lots of credit snatchers. Some people not sharing their experience and knowledge. BIGGEST ISSUE: Workplace harrassment/ bullying There is so much to say but this is the worst. There is so much bullying, its disgusting. You know it's bad when you see adults tearing. People who lost their confidence and became a really frightened kitten. When you can't beat them, many join them. Thus, making it worse. I'm as guilty as the anyone else who witness the bullying and not doing anything about it. Im ashamed of it and I want to let those bullied colleagues know that I'm sorry because like a lot of us, we are afraid of the repercussions. To survive, many had to put on a fascade. Because of this, many talented young people left. Hence I advise against joining, unless your passion is not easily doused and you can take the above.

Pros

Fixed work timings. Work starts and end early. Convenience of travelling due to island-wide company bus service. Organisation is very lean, thus have learning opportunities to develop oneself. Canteen food is relatively cheap, but not for the fussy eater.

Cons

A lot of constant power struggle and political infighting. Company believes in retrenching people from the bottom, while top management and people from the same camp are safe and indispensable. Because of this, morale is low and people have low confidence. Top management is prone to poor planning and decision-making (the common feeling on the ground) because they are always made from the same group of people. Company is unable to keep and retain good, talented employees, either by laying them off, or causing them to leave on their own. People are always constantly leaving. Company has a culture of retrenching and hiring again, so people looking to join should think twice. A lot of workload on the people who stays, where bonuses/increments/promotions are none/little/not guaranteed. Top management should be in touch more with the ground.
