Pros

very forward thinking company with great attitudes towards looking after customers and staff alike . Focused on making an impactful difference in the energy industry and its approach to green and renewable energy. Brilliant modern approach towards training making it very inclusive, interesting and fun!

Cons

Long recruitment process but stick with it! It can feel like a lengthy process but it's worth it at the end, they really make an effort to employ people they think will be good at the role and are incredibly diverse and inclusive. In training they chuck you in at the deep end but you're never alone and they constantly stress and that mistakes are good as you can learn from them, they say "get stuck in as we can fix any problem" so don't be afraid!

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
