Enel X Employee Reviews about "smart people"

Pros

- Solid culture - Smart people at the rank-and-file level - Opportunity to work with a range of technologies

Cons

In nearly 4 years at EnerNOC, we've watched the executive & product management teams make bad decision after bad decision, completely unperturbed by any amount of doubt at any point. There was basically never any evidence that the company's attempt to break into the SaaS energy analytics market would be successful. Despite this, the executive team allocated nearly the entire engineering organization to work on "EIS", to the neglect of the other side of the business (which customers actually want to pay for.) When this failed repeatedly, the product leaders were awarded and/or promoted, while massive swaths of the engineering team were laid off.

Pros

Smart people, strong teams, great location in the Seaport , interesting focus on triple bottom line wins for the company, customers, and the world, broad international impact

Cons

Actively restructuring the business, low growth potential outside DR side of the house, "the biggest start up you'll ever work for" means carrying massive overhead for very entrepreneurial groups, without find the efficiencies needed to manage clean processes of a larger company

Pros

Passionate about the business and the view that EnerNOC can change the way the world uses energy. Strong investment in sales tools and process. Smart people when it comes to the market and sales methodology.

Cons

Unrealistic ramp-up and self-sufficieny expectations considering market maturity. Plenty of support in the late stage of the sales process, not enough when it comes to demand creation and getting customers engaged in a buying conversation. Very frustrating for new enterprise BDM's unles you are fortunate enough to get engaged in deals that have some momentum. Too many BDM's - not enough demand to support them.

Pros

- The atmosphere was awesome and you get to work with some really smart people in their fields. - Open PTO policy - Easy ability to work from home

Cons

- Projects are not always well thought out - Communication directly from upper management was not always clear - Growth within the company has slowed down

Pros

Great benefits - smart people - great teams

Cons

company strategic vision changes every 6 months

Pros

EnerNOC has some smart people, a good culture, and a great PTO policy. We work hard, but not too hard. My work life balance is great right now, but I don't work out of the Boston office, so it's hard to say how things are there. I was part of an acquisition, and the transition was smooth and easy for me. I can't say the same about other people in other departments. Free snacks and drinks. Ability to work remote (on occasion) is a huge plus.

Cons

The heath benefits could be a lot better. Recent layoffs have some people on edge. Pushed out (not fired) a lot of great people during the integration process after we were acquired. Seems like the company is losing a lot of good people. Over use of interns.

Pros

EnerNOC employs lots of smart people, experts in energy as well as in business. These people are very driven and have a great deal of energy that they apply across the company.

Cons

Rather than a meritocracy, your potential for upward mobility is based on whether you have a Tuck (Dartmouth) MBA. Secondarily, EnerNOC will consider Harvard or MIT, but that's about it. Public universities need not apply, no matter how smart or accomplished. In addition, the company is going through an identity crisis. EnerNOC wants to be a high tech firm, but was not raised as such. Just saying that you are a software provider when the vast majority of your work/revenue is Demand Response just confuses your customers, your investors, and your staff.
