Pros
...Opower is one of the few companies that's on the forefront of ushering utilities into the 21st century. How many other cleantech companies have you seen undergo a successful IPO and continue along a positive growth trajectory? <crickets chirping> Opower put behavioral energy efficiency on the map and will do the same for a whole array of new AMI-enabled products and services. Your energy provider should effectively communicate with you about how and when you use energy so you can make informed decisions to reduce your use and save money. Opower is making this happen. I'm happy to be a part of this. For full review of perks, see other reviews (they are good though). Finally, you'll notice a lot of negative reviews as of late. They all boil down to the fact that company life is changing as Opower has moved from fledgling start-up to enterprise software company. I welcome this feedback and sympathize with some of it but still doesn't reflect how I feel about Opower overall as a company. The fact that we're openly having this debate about what the company is and should be is a sign of positive company culture.
Cons
Working environment is very fluid. For those of us who like long-term clarity and certainty in day-to-day tasks, Opower-life will come as a shock. To a certain extent, this is a good thing as it prevents the job from becoming stale - and some folks do really thrive in this environment - but it can be overwhelming. Be ready for this, decide if this is something you want.
