Vantaggi

Intelligent people work there ( for small amounts of time). Good place to learn and get industry experience. Exposure to other companies so that you can find your next job.

Svantaggi

The company feels like a start up but not in the fun ways. They have been around for 19 years and the lack of process and training is daunting. You work 50+ hours and are expected to work weekends. Not because you are passionate about your job but because the CEO has whims that need to be fulfilled. Calls at any time of night and on the weekends. Everything feels like its always on fire and you are just fighting to stay above water. This chaotic environment is created by very poor work culture that comes from the top. The CTO and CEO will fight constantly and will use employees to get their jabs at each other. What you think is a simple request from the CEO is actually putting you in the middle of a fight with the CTO. The worst part is that the CEO can actually be verbally abusive. "What are you stupid?" amongst other condescending and disrespectful comments are normal. Adults should not talk to other adults in that manner. In many occasions I was put in uncomfortable positions where I had to defend the "half truths" that came down from the C-suite to clients. Avoid this place if you can. As many of the other comments state many of the good reviews are fake.

Vantaggi

Ascend has an excellent work culture which emphasizes knowledge, value creation, and quality service to our clients. These are the foundations of our mission, which is to further the energy transition. What I most appreciate about this company is the fact that there is an honest conversation about what this means, and our approach remains pragmatic. You won't find the cliches of other companies here, and we believe in our work and results over slogans. Our CEO understands the work we do as individuals, and doesn't believe he is "above" us. He loves to hear from us, and sees the value of our contributions. You won't find a management disconnect, or commanding attitude from leadership. You aren't expected to ever "put on a show," and everyone is their best professional authentic self in the office.

Svantaggi

Issues from legacy practices do return from time to time. Information can be better codified, and processes and documentation need to be refined. This lack of inter-team transparency can create some extra steps and many unnecessary meetings, but we are moving away from that.
