ENEL

Enel is a mess. Organizationally. No clearly defined limits to what certain departments will be expected to take on. Managers joke about it being a mess, which is fine and funny and all but nothing seems to be done about it. Yes there are people willing to help but finding who is the problem. They have some great policies. Remote work awesome for some groups, but you burn out fast on the sheer volume of work. Growth far outpaces hiring. Just keep piling it on. Half day Fridays sound great in theory but hard to find the time to take them. Managers don’t seem to encourage it or try to make it actually doable for folks. Probably depends on the manager you have. Hire more people and don’t expect people to know things that in typical workplaces would be outside their roles. But really, hire more people and managers it’s ok to say a few things: No, this isn’t in our realm,,,Hey, it’s Friday and I know you’ve all put in your time so get out of here,,, and of course make sure employees feel appreciated for trying so hard to keep up with the pace and unlimited expectations. Some really great, smart and dedicated people work at Enel and if they could just figure their stuff out it would be a great place. Hire, hire, then hire some more. 

Working for Enel was one of the most stressful jobs I have ever had & it had nothing to do with workload.  Top level management was awful in USA HSEQ.  It seems everyone in the company knows there is a problem but nothing is being done about it.  Everything is based on goals & you can work on tons of other projects that are wonderful for the company yet it doesn’t matter if it’s not a goal.  HSEQ is very clicky.  If top level doesn’t like one thing you’ve done, he will do everything he can to push you out.  

There are way too many meetings.  We are construction workers drying to build projects.  Why so many meetings.  Everything is always last minute too.  You’ll see email chains from weeks prior & it’s something they need now but could have sent weeks ago.  

The company is huge so there is plenty of opportunity to meet others & there are great areas to work outside of HSEQ. 

The culture seems fake.  If you aren’t drinking the kool aid, you’ll hear the stories from the folks who work there what it’s really like.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people. But most of the great people I worked with have also moved on and too many bad "leaders" remain.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Horrible senior executives! HUA (heads up azzes) and all they care about is maximizing their bonuses at the expense of loyalty, integrity and awesome peoples livelihood. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful! The best employees get asked to do more and more so management can have magic shows with their friends. They hired the wrong executives to lead in 2019 and 2020 and the whole culture went to pot!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work hard, keep head down...12 hour days, on average.

The company itself, pay and benefits are amazing. However, the major downside at least where I was is their middle management is questionable in how they operate. No standard operating procedures, schematics, conflicting directions from superiors. A lot of the time if u called for specific direction you were met with condecention. Most of the time in my experience there you got accurate direction after you performed a task wrong for months and get reprimanded for it or when your superiors get in trouble for you not performing a task correctly for an extended period of time then are asked why you were performance said task that way. This was exclusive to where I worked and have no insight into other work locations so it very well could be much different at different site.

Overall there are a lot of smart people who work for Enel, especially in the Andover Location, but I would say that they to not collaborate very well.  New employees are expected to hit the ground running and figure out how to solve issues on their own.  Training of roles is virtually non-existent.

Enel is a multicultural company where people are embraced from many backgrounds but the company is headquartered in Rome.  If you do not speak Italian this can create difficulties at time.  The majority of upper management is Italian and my impression is that its a cultural trait within the company that emails and meeting requests will sometimes be ignored by those in leadership. 

Enel way = figure it out on your own

The company is currently undergoing a significant reorganization in NA but also worldwide, and there have been several rounds of layoffs in North America as a result of change of strategy investment.  The uncertainty surrounding job security has created a tense atmosphere, and the emotional toll on employees, especially those directly affected, is undeniable. While I understand that business decisions must be made for long-term survival, the way the changes have been communicated could have been more transparent.
Company was anyway supportive for the people that has been laid off

Work is usually cubicle dwelling unless out in the field.  Field consists of work on hydropower sites.

I learned about hydropower and PM skills.  But, you are going to have to teach yourself.  Engineering is contracted out.

Management is a mess, hopefully they fix this.

Some really nice co-workers, but lazy ones who do not accomplish much too.

Hardest part of job is trying to motivate people to get work done.  You will go to the same meeting and talk about the same work - nothing ever gets accomplished sometimes.

I enjoyed the work life balance - rarely do you work over 45 hours per week. 

Low pay at first, but higher ups make good money.  Good beni's.

I worked at EnerNOC for a number of years before it was acquired by Enel X in 2017. Unfortunately we went from scrappy small cap company with bright and motivated people that got things done to bureaucratic behemoth with big ambitions but leadership that doesn't invest in its people and far too many MBA pencil pushers. It was a great place to get started in the workplace (lots of responsibility given to junior level people) but unfortunately has become one I wouldn't recommend
