What is the salary like at Deriva Energy?

Good 401(k) plan and decent pay

This company is a sinking ship. I’m writing to throw you a raft—whether you’re thinking about joining or trying to decide if it’s time to leave. The culture is hostile, insular, and unnecessarily secretive. Management and coworkers routinely ice people out of conversations and behave as if we’re working for the federal government—everything is treated like classified information, even when transparency is necessary to do your job well. There is a pervasive “country club” atmosphere that you don’t sign up for and are never truly welcomed into. I personally experienced microaggressions that were brushed off or normalized, reinforcing the feeling that if you don’t fit a very specific mold, you’re on the outside looking in. If you’re looking for annual cost-of-living adjustments, look elsewhere. Compensation does not keep pace with reality, and raises are not aligned with effort or performance. Hard work is routinely ignored. People who do the bare minimum are promoted year after year, while high performers are left stagnant with no clear path forward. Career development is essentially nonexistent—if your goal is growth, this is not the place. If you’re a woman and want to join a boys’ club filled with mansplaining, this is the place for you. If you enjoy being undermined by coworkers, having your ideas dismissed, and watching others take credit for your work for personal gain, you’ll fit right in. Coworkers regularly take credit for others’ work, and leadership either enables it or looks the other way. The audacity of leadership pursuing a “Great Place to Work” designation while employees are overworked, underpaid, and openly unhappy is staggering. The disconnect between leadership’s self-image and employees’ lived experience could not be more obvious. If you want to remain stagnant, underappreciated, and excluded, this company may be a great fit. If you value transparency, equity, growth, and basic respect, consider this your warning.

Good pay and benefits not much else

Unreasonable expectations. The work load is so heavy and the staffing and turnover is so bad that everyone is either crying or nasty to you. PTO is great except if you take it you are shamed and looked down upon. Systems do not work and it is creating additional work which is already stretched to the limit with the little staff. Working under 80 hours a week is looked down upon. When looking for guidance you are told you need to be a self starter but if you try to figure it out on your own you are basically told you are stupid. Hours are worse than the big four and no reward. Originally hired for 2 days in office but then was told last minute it is 4 days in office. I have never been treated by coworkers so poorly. Was told in an email if you have a simple question that it needs to be a meeting because they don’t have time to answer simple questions. I think this is due to the heavy workload and stress put on all employees. When going to HR about concerns you will just be ignored. When bringing concerns to management you are then treated even worse. When the CFO had concerns brought to him about the workload and turnover he told us that we need to be grateful to have employment and that the heavy workload weeds out the people they don’t want to work there. Threatened to lose your job constantly if you don’t follow procedures but there are no standard operating procedures. Just stay away if you know what is best for you. If you enjoy mean, overworked coworkers who treat you terrible and zero work life balance I guess this is the place for you. Would give 0 stars if I could

Individuals at the director levels and below are great to work with.

The C-Suite and Brookfield are destroying what was once a great company to work for. The culture has taken a turn for the worse leading to a lot of attrition. On a regular day-to-day everyone talks about how unhappy and overworked they are. Expectations are high, pay is low, and the C-Suite micromanages everything. Unfortunately the people at the top are out of touch and want to run the company like a private equity firm without the benefits or compensation. Realistically, the CEO does not care about the employees and only care about his payoff at the exit, it’s abundantly clear and no one has anything positive to say about him. Unless you are in dire need of a job, look anywhere else.

Great 401k Decent pay Opportunity to make a difference

Zero work/life balance. Working weekends, nights and while on PTO are all expected here. Insane timelines and expectations. Continued reckless behavior from multiple levels of management. Turn over of employees here is alarming and not stopping. RTO 4x a week "Start up culture" with none of the benefits of being in a start-up. Not very generous PTO policy, but you probably won't be able to use it, so it doesn't matter!

Decent Pay Decent Insurance/ PTO

Be prepared to be overworked and then receive little to no feedback. This company is 100% a boys club. They like to boast about equal opportunity and having great diversity but it is truly a sham. The CEO believes that fixing culture means having more happy hours instead of fixing how people are treated during working hours. Not to mention there's no respect of your time outside of work. A job is a job but don't stop applying elsewhere if you start working here.
