Pros

Exposure to regional and international work. Decent product with an established customer base. Some colleagues at the working level are generally capable and supportive. Opportunity to take ownership early in your role. Flexible work arrangements. Taken together, this can be a good place if you value autonomy, enjoy working across markets, and are comfortable operating with a high degree of independence.

Cons

I would not recommend this company if you are looking for stability, structure, or clear career progression. There have been multiple layoffs, alongside continued attrition of experienced staff. Workforce planning appears inconsistent, with roles being made redundant and later re-scoped or rehired at a different level. Leadership messaging often emphasises private equity backing, but there is limited clarity on long-term strategy. Decision-making can feel opaque, contributing to perceptions of favouritism and internal politics. These factors collectively create uncertainty and affect morale across teams. Overall, the environment feels unstable and difficult to navigate with confidence.

Pros

EE operates in a genuinely exciting space at the intersection of energy transition, AI-driven grid complexity, and advanced market simulation. PLEXOS and Adapt2 are highly credible, industry-respected platform with deep customer adoption. The company has strong domain expertise across product, solutions, and sales, with teams that understand energy markets at a high level. There is real autonomy for those who want to build and own outcomes, and performance is recognized. The culture is supportive, with leadership and HR demonstrating a strong commitment to employees, especially during critical moments.

Cons

As the US commercial organization continues to scale, there is an opportunity to further streamline sales processes and enhance cross-functional alignment to fully capitalize on market demand. Continued investment in data and platform capabilities will help meet evolving customer expectations and unlock additional growth.

Pros

The best PE investment team(s) in Blackstone and Vista supporting the business.

Cons

Legacy founder led leaders still in charge running it as a founder led company, as opposed to an Enterprise software business. The Chief People officer based in AU calls all the shots, and the CEO, who has very poor employee respect falls in line. The morale is toxic, as a result of these two legacy leaders that remain. Once Blackstone/Vista make the leadership change the business has a chance to recover, until then, it’s a sinking ship.
