Read the other reviews and consider what a job is worth to you - Anonymous employee Off the Grid Employee Review

Culture: While working at Off The Grid has its ups and downs, it is generally an exercise is slowly losing your self-respect. Practically each week is punctuated by a window dressed company-wide goodbye email for someone who has either quit or been fired. You never know who’s going next, so it’s better not to form any true relationships or bonds of trust with your coworkers. For those that you do let your guard down on, you are likely to get stabbed in the back or “thrown under the bus”. In terms of leadership, the company is controlled by a a small clique of individuals. Know that regardless of how seasoned or thoughtful you are in your work, the CEO will always make it known that he can do your job better, and will never miss an opportunity to either “derail” or “blindside” you and your peers at every turn. Additionally, know that there is a strong and distinct class divide within the company. Directors, Heads-Of, etc have very little idea of what working at OTG is like for the majority of its employees, and don’t attempt to try. Any attempt at discussing culture, values, or workplace experience from senior leadership is a response to issue-oriented problem solving rather than a true interest in actually making it a great place to work. Additionally, while senior leadership continues to talk about transparency in all-staff communications, what they are discussing is transparency, rather than actual transparency of information or inclusion. All of these points are long-term, structural issues that reside within the organization and not within any single event or period. Career Opportunities: Yes, there are many, many open positions. These positions are technically open for internal candidates, but in practice, they are not. Current employees are kept down by incremental, small raises and arbitrary title changes while external candidates are hired in under vastly higher positions. If you are doing well in your role, you might be recognized for it by your supervisor, but it will not result true career growth, because there are no real career opportunities at OTG. It is a job that everyone is working until they’re out. Work / Life Balance: You will face a never ending stream of chaos and unrealistic expectations that no single person would ever be able to achieve. Your only recourse is to try to say no, and either risk getting pushed out or feeling like a failure.
