Edison Energy reviews

The company is very risk-averse. It makes them slow to act, with everything seeming to be done by committee/consensus at the leadership level. Consensus is a worthy-sounding goal, but in reality it seems to water down the impact of true leadership, makes nobody want to take direct responsibility, and often paralyzes or greatly slows decision-making. Nearly every decision down to the office or project manager level requires approvals from higher ups, and the higher ups are variously too busy to give a timely response (or at times, any response at all), or too busy to really understand the ask and make a snap decision without any reasoning. It's frustrating to the people trying to get the work done to not be trusted to make a sound decision themselves, but also not get the support the need from the people they are required to go through to make decisions. While many people within the company have a real passion for our work in energy and sustainability, that is not reflected in any sort of company mission or vision, and certainly not in our CEO. Far too many colleagues report being stressed and overloaded with work and never taking time off. Definitely much worse due to pandemic impacts as of late, but the "work work work" culture definitely pre-dates the pandemic. It's a real mixed bag on this front, depending on where you work and who your manager is. Parental leave policy is 6 weeks paid; industry minimum and what's truly frustrating about this is that there was no paid parental leave policy at all until one of the higher-ups was expecting their first child.

Soul-crushing dead-end career, Incompetent management and sales team that continues to lose millions yet somehow gets to keep their jobs. Extreme politics supersedes responsibilities and accountability. Littered with very very unqualified individuals with bloated titles and salary.
