Pros

Altanova is forward thinking in their approach to building science, sustainability, and energy efficiency. The team genuinely cares about providing real value to the client over just compliance with energy efficiency incentive programs. I learned a lot during my time at the company and always felt like my professional development was given importance. The management is easy to work with and the work life balance is excellent. I had a great experience here and would highly recommend it to others if they are interested in energy and sustainability consulting.

Cons

Need to understand complex concepts quickly, which can be overwhelming at first. Meetings can be a bit disorganized and not goal oriented at times.

Pros

-Mentors are willing and motivated to teach -Team is highly knowledgeable -Supportive environment that welcomed curiosity -Allowed for exploration of individual interests outside the internship responsibilities (ex: working with other teams) -Allotted time for learning new skills and acquiring certifications (ex: OSHA 10 training)

Cons

-Steep learning curve for those not previously involved in NYC sustainability standards -Due to the fact that many team members work remotely and across different time zones, there were instances when communication was challenging, leading to some misalignment in understanding/expectations -Noticed that there was a sense of frustration about disorganization, I don't think I was there long enough to understand the extent -I was the only intern during 2024 summer, I believe that having another intern in the office would have enhanced the experience

Pros

Lots of freedom to explore different ideas, everybody is super passionate about the industry. Small team so everyone is close.

Cons

Business offerings vary a lot seasonally so hard to develop expertise in one specific topic. Growth beyond the first few years is slow.
