Great voluntary separation program. If you are here for 3 months and decide it isn't a fit you get one months pay when you leave. Recently the CEO has decided that if you are here 6 months you get 2 months pay if you decided this place isn't a fit. Many people have marked that date on their calendar and are looking forward to collecting their two months to jump off this sinking ship.

Minpunten

Oh wow, where to begin. First I want to caution people reading the recent positive reviews on here as they have been requested by management. When the negative reviews were brought up, initially the CEO said he didn't care about glass door and it was just some place for disgruntled employees to complain. Due to the fact that HR is STRUGGLING to get people to come here with glass door often being cited during phone interviews, they have changed their tune about glass door by trying to paint a rosy picture through asking people to log on and say something great. Sorry, it isn't great. The President and CEO have absolutely ZERO leadership ability and have no business running a company. The New York office is full of people who have been placed into positions they have neither the experience nor the ability to do the jobs. They have been selected simply because they are related to investors in the company. The company in 2015 experienced over 50% turn over and 2016 is on pace to break that record. The CEO stated in a meeting that 50% turn over doesn't bother him and if it were up to him it would be closer to 75%. Well Sir, you may just get your wish. What this has lead to is little to no support infrastructure in the company due to folks starting programs or projects and then leaving only to have someone else have to come back in and start over from scratch. They have no training programs and their marketing is relatively non-existent, again... due to turn over and folks being placed in key positions based on their families investment stake in the company and not on their ability to successfully do their job. The company leadership touts a "FUN" place to work, but in reality most people are miserable here and the vast majority are actively looking for other employment. Leadership has not presented any kind of coherent strategy to make the company successful and instead just throws a bunch of stuff at the wall to see what sticks. They always make the excuses for the leadership and program execution shortfalls with the excuse of being a "growing company". Many companies grow all the time, successfully at that, with a sense of direction and a cohesive strategy without abusing it's employees and having folks run for the doors. I definitely would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Ik heb genoten van mijn tijd bij Energy Focus, het was een verdere stap in klantenservice omdat ze graag alle verwachtingen van de klant overtreffen. Ik kon meer leren en het meenemen naar mijn volgende rol. Mijn manager en team waren altijd erg ondersteunend en behulpzaam!

Minpunten

Ik heb geen nadelen.

Pluspunten

The benefits were good. The US people were great to work with.

Minpunten

Now that the company is being being ran by Taiwanese people, they are eliminating all US connections and not following correct procedures. Lesley is not the CEO.
