Pros
Interesting work in an exciting field (renewables). Good benefits and compensation. Some cool renewable sites across the company that you can visit depending on your job. Turnover is high so you can move up fast.
Cons
Ever since Brookfield bought this company from Duke they have been trying to run everything leaner and leaner. All the technical teams are overworked and understaffed. Upper management is a bunch of financial-minded people running Deriva like we're a finance company - actually operating our fleet of renewables sites feels like an afterthought most of the time. They abandoned their hybrid work structure for 4-day RTO with no input from employees despite it making no sense for a large portion of the company. Turnover is high as a lot of people bail and it's only going to get worse in the coming months. I've heard it said that Deriva operates like a tech startup with none of the benefits of working for a tech startup, which feels pretty accurate.
