Downhill would be an understatement - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Opower

The entire company is dysfunctional and morale is at an all time low. The stock price continues to nose dive and upper management is panicking as they watch their net worth disappear into thin air. The recent changes to the company's mission and goals has been poorly executed and caused significant damage across the company. They continue to lose their most talented employees and refuse to hire the most necessary positions. Instead, upper management chooses to hire and promote their friends into useless positions that add no value to the company. They then sit there and wonder why they can't deliver to their clients on time. Career advancement and opportunities are a joke unless you're buddies with the management team. Certain managers continually get promoted with less than a year in their current position while individual workers actually getting stuff done don't receive any recognition for the hard work they do. All you have to do is look at the LinkedIn profiles of some of the managers to see how ridiculous their progression through the career ladder has been. Upper management blatantly lies to their employees and does exactly the opposite of what they tell them. I love how Dan sends a damage control email after the stock price drops over 30% in a single day firmly stating that the company finances are fine and that it is a Wall St overreaction. Before that, he had also stated there wouldn't be anymore lay offs in the near future. Of course, that all ends up being a lie as apparently the finances are not great and they had to lay off a significant portion of their employees. That's less than 6 months after a previous round of layoffs. Thanks, Dan! If you're thinking about joining this company, do yourself a favor and don't. There is really no reason to get aboard this sinking ship.
