Pros

Honestly I should say nothing positive. Managers are kind of crazy people here. They are fine and approve you when they talk to you but behind you they cut and destroy you to just show their higher managers that they are tough ! They also never like anybody be better than them and this really bothered me too much. Very very unprofessional managers. I am surprised if somebody gives this company more than 2 star rating.

Cons

Managers are totally unprofessional. very weak culture. Managers are not strong technically at all.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and personal experience with a member of the management team, I am sorry that your time with us has not been a very positive experience in this area. Culture has always been one of the reasons employees come to us and have stayed on for so long, so it is disappointing to hear that your experience has not been the same. I would encourage you to reach out to me directly to discuss your experience and issues so that we can address it directly. Our management team is going though leader evaluations, and training; and we would love the opportunity to address any negative employee experience. One of our fundamentals is “Speak straight” and I know that we take such feedback and act on it as applicable. Kristy Swegheimer, EVP Human Resources

Pros

If you want to see how NOT to run a company, this would be a great case study of what can happen when private equity comes in and thinks they can do it better than the seller.

Cons

Every day, you'll have at least one moment where you will think you are in the twilight zone. This will be followed by the culture of distrust, assuming the worst of everyone, and hundreds of decisions directed at lowering the overall bar for places to work. You should ask them about the 26 hypocrisies, or "fundamentals" as they call them. Really, in all honesty you'd be better off begging on the street corner than working there, at least you'll only get called a few degrading names, and you'll have at least some self esteem left. The incompetency level is absolutely astounding! Make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing and ask for clarifications on things like bonuses or use of the term "free" or "guaranteed". It's quite sad really, buy maybe the next private equity buyer will pay better attention to who is running the place and what experience and track record they really have.

I regret that your experience with CE Power was not a positive one. We want to foster a culture based on collaboration, balance and understanding, which is why we have a team that constantly reviews how we are living up to our 26 fundamentals. We acknowledge that sometimes it is hard to have each and every one of those core values in mind, however, we genuinely believe in the story they tell about our culture and expectations. Among those fundaments, we like to Assume Positive Intent, Get the Facts, and Work on Ourselves, which is why we are constantly striving to improve and collaborate. I would encourage you to contact me directly to discuss your comments. Thank you for your commitment to CE Power while you worked with us.
