Great Company - Project Controls Specialist Intersect Employee Review

The culture and benefits are great!

The company could use more diversity.

+ You get to work on largest solar power plants in the country come to fruition + You can be given lots of responsibility, even as a college new hire. + Run by solar industry veterans: a lot of expertise in-house + Good pay *for solar* + Good cultural fit if you come from finance + Good company performance

- Pretty horrible work culture if you like work-life-balance. I felt like I had several months of residual fatigue after leaving the company. Many senior partners have health issues too (probably from overwork). They lie/gaslight people about how much work/overtime is actually necessary to meet expectations - They churn through people in junior ranks pretty regularly. For analysts generally want Excel monkeys/workhorses that they wear out in about 2 years (which is how it works in finance). The CEO idolizes the culture at Goldman Sachs if that tells you anything. - People would get hired and fired based on how much they were liked by upper management and a select inner circle. They love people who always say 'yes'. Drawing boundaries can make you a target in many ways. Coworkers were fired for giving honest but negative feedback to upper management. - Upper management were deluded in how "innovative" the company work tools actually were (using Google Sheets doesn't make you high-tech). - Really long work hours and a lot of unnecessary churn - Very poor training / mentorship.
