Great Organization But Has Growing Pains

Anonymous employee

Pros

Sustainability driven, climate change fighting organization. First mover in a growth sector. Prides itself on delivering top-notch work product. Leading the clean energy revolution in California!

Cons

Has serious managerial issues. At-Will employment arrangement with zero severance policy (even for those who have worked there for numerous years). Bumping up against 50-employee threshold (i.e. small to medium business) Has had rapid growth within staff without time for management and internal processes to adjust. Work environment has gone from quick and agile to complicated and stressful.

Pros

- great benefits - if you are well-liked, you can succeed - most coworkers are nice and inspiring - Interesting work if you're on the right team - mission-driven

Cons

- the process for requesting accommodations for my disability was demeaning, unprofessional, cumbersome, and catered to the needs of my boss rather than me. - Technical merits are not as highly valued as being well-liked by leadership -MCE relies on its reputation as the first CCA in the state, not the best. Leadership is very risk-averse, which often feels bureaucratic when simple solutions aren’t pursued. - MCE's Marin roots keep the agency from serving its other three counties in a way that would serve them best - Very hierarchical management structure, but claims to be egalitarian. Leadership often refers to the agency as a "family" - I observed nepotism through the prioritization of current coworkers' family and friends over fully merit-based evaluations for hiring - The remote work culture leaves for little support or connection. There were double standards for in-office expectations. MCE only seem to keep the remote policy because C-Suite and Leadership live far away from the offices
