Great people in pockets of the company, but leadership and direction are a challenge - Senior Manager Enwave Energy Employee Review

The biggest challenge is the lack of clear direction from leadership. Priorities can change quickly, often without much communication or planning, which makes it difficult for teams to stay focused or execute effectively. There also seems to be instability in roles and responsibilities across multiple departments. Expectations can shift after people are hired, and responsibilities sometimes evolve in ways that aren’t clearly defined or supported. Leadership culture can feel very top-down. Decision-making appears concentrated within a small leadership circle, and employees outside of that group may feel their perspectives are overlooked or not meaningfully considered. This can create an environment where people hesitate to raise concerns or offer feedback. As a result, collaboration across teams sometimes suffers, and individuals may feel undervalued or disconnected from decision-making that directly impacts their work. Workload expectations can also become disconnected from available resources. When priorities shift frequently and timelines remain tight, teams end up carrying sustained pressure that can lead to burnout. Overall, the company has a lot of talented people, but stronger leadership alignment and clearer communication would go a long way in creating a more stable and productive environment.
