Pros

ENGIE operates in many markets so good opportunities to expand experience to other cities' customer's and utilities. Fellow staff in the Norwell office are supportive, engaging, and helpful. Many other positive aspects of the former Opterra's culture was undone when ENGIE took over.

Cons

Little communication between the many smaller companies that ENGIE has acquired over the last few years, despite having major business objectives being dependent on this collaboration. Travel policy implemented recently by ENGIE corporate is inconvenient & reasonable expense reports were regularly send back by corporate. Sales & engineering teams not on the same page resulting in customers receiving free engineering work from us, it is mainly a lighting retrofit focused company that struggles to comprehend mechanical work.

Pros

It is a green company with a focus on low carbon energy and services! Strong leadership, excellent work environment, white canvas to add value.

Cons

It is working in silos towards a more focus centered approach. It will take time, effort, and accountability. I am ready!

Pros

I like the mission. Until recently, the people were amazing. Now, with the overhiring for a new large client, it looks and sounds like a circus. Entry pay is decent.

Cons

Too much overtime, until they decided NO OVERTIME. Many employees relied on the overtime to pay bills, due to low wages. Cut overtime, and now many employees either quit, or are working two jobs. There is no loyalty to the veterans. In fact, I dare say veterans are endangered here. LOTS of favoritism. What once was an autonomous job is now supervised by a microscope and intolerant or controlling YOUNG team leads.
