Pros

Super friendly place to work which gives you the freedom to do your best. Flexible working hours but if you prefer to, you can work in any office around the UK (and beyond if signed off). Puts you at ease when balancing the work vs personal life mix, which seems to be the lowest consideration at most other companies. Really exciting place to be with lots on the horizon, each with their own problems which you can help solve. Within or adjacent to the green energy space. Lots of opportunity for growth. In my short time here I've seen people transition to different teams and/or countries.

Cons

Some people might find the scale of the company overwhelming if used to smaller businesses prior.

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.
