Pros

Beware of the positive reviews posted at the same time. They create fake email accounts to boost their ratings and counter the negative reviews. Let's see, something positive? Location is right above the metro and there's lots of places to eat. They have a Wellness room where you can find all kinds of fun things like condom wrappers and yoga mats.

Cons

This place is a lot like the White House a few blocks away: from the revolving door to fake news to bafoons in leadership roles. If you're interviewing here, ask them how many people have exited over the past 12 months. If they say any number under 30, they're lying. Also, ask them about the exit survey results. They won't tell you, but you should still ask. There was a mass exodus when all of the smart and competent people either got fired for being smart and competent and calling them on their unfair, racist, sexist practices, or willingly quit when they realized that they were surrounded by the most arrogant and idiotic leadership team imaginable. It's not a coincidence that 98% of the people who left were minorities. It's also not a coincidence that there are only 3 people of color in the entire organization. Don't believe me? Take a look at the staff photos. Where do I start with the incompetent leaders? They'll tell you until they are blue in the face that they are "kind and humble," except they're not. Look around and there are a handful of law school rejects who have gotten ahead because of who they know, not what they know. The CEO has surrounded himself with yes-people/echo chambers to feed his fragile ego. The fact that so many people have left this place is a direct correlation to the awful culture and the person who was put in charge of it because she's friends with the right people but has no brain cells or actual experience doing much like managing, leading, thinking.

Pros

• Some coworkers at the same level were supportive and easy to work with • Good opportunity to build peer relationships with people who were also early in their careers • Exposure to solar projects

Cons

• Compensation did not scale appropriately with cost-of-living changes. Employees were expected to relocate to a high-cost area without salary adjustments that made the move financially sustainable. • Relocation and on-site expectations were inconsistent. Junior staff were required to be in the office while much of management worked remotely, limiting access to guidance and decision-makers. • Management effectiveness varied. Inexperienced managers and remote oversight often resulted no clear direction and mentorship. • Process rigidity discouraged improvement. While feedback and new ideas were initially welcomed, meaningful changes were often dismissed in favor of maintaining existing approaches. • Performance management lacked support, with limited coaching or resources provided to improve outcomes. • High employee turnover created instability, loss of context, and frequent shifts in priorities. • Organizational direction was unclear. Strategic shifts often.
