Pros

The company is backed by strong private equity owners who aim to accelerate growth and provide resources to scale the business.

Cons

The pursuit of rapid growth led to overly aggressive targets, resulting in layoffs when those targets weren’t met under private equity pressure.

Pros

I’ve had a great experience working at Energy Exemplar. The company is filled with talented, passionate people who genuinely care about the work they do and the impact they make on the energy industry. The mission is meaningful, and it’s rewarding to be part of an organization that helps customers make critical decisions related to the future of energy. From a Talent Acquisition perspective, I’ve appreciated the opportunity to partner with leaders across the globe, influence hiring strategies, and contribute to the company’s growth. The culture promotes collaboration, trust, and flexibility, with employees empowered to take ownership of their work. Remote work flexibility and work-life balance have also been strong positives. Leadership is approachable, and there is a consistent focus on innovation, customer success, and continuous improvement.

Cons

As with many high-growth organizations, priorities can shift quickly, which requires adaptability and strong communication. However, this also creates opportunities to learn, grow, and make an impact.

Pros

The best PE investment team(s) in Blackstone and Vista supporting the business.

Cons

Legacy founder led leaders still in charge running it as a founder led company, as opposed to an Enterprise software business. The Chief People officer based in AU calls all the shots, and the CEO, who has very poor employee respect falls in line. The morale is toxic, as a result of these two legacy leaders that remain. Once Blackstone/Vista make the leadership change the business has a chance to recover, until then, it’s a sinking ship.
