Pros
Renewables companies abound, so I won't dwell on "changing the world" or the ESG impact of Intersect Power, which is impressive. Rather, I'd like to focus on the culture of the firm, which prizes (profitable) ingenuity, curiosity and execution. Intersect prides itself on its "you are them" motto. Unlike major firms, where employees frequently delegate tasks to dedicated departments, Intersect encourages employees to pursue their ideas / solutions from start to finish. Certainly, there is support (no one knows anything, and you won't reinvent the wheel), but this is not a place where you just dump work on blame others for any shortcomings. Standards are high; the work is demanding. These are pros at Intersect Power. Colleagues feel like friends; there is no backstabbing or looking over your shoulder for the next person looking to take your job. And the Team Weeks! Since Intersect Power is fully remote, the company hosts quarterly company gatherings for live co-working and bonding, and I think I can speak for my colleagues when I say that these occasions have been some of the most fun retreats I've had.
Kontras
The hours can be brutal (but seasonally); travel from the east coast to Team Weeks (which are generally on the West Coast) can be inconvenient.
