NYSERDA

This is the business of creating awareness of statewide incentives to improve energy efficiency, energy conservation and renewable energy generation as a means of increasing statewide and regional economic development.  

A broad array of energy related programming is available and accessible by businesses, municipalities, entrepreneurs and residents to improve our energy and economic position.  It's my job to build relationships, discover projects and facilitate connections to appropriate program compatibility with projects, tie them to regional and state objectives, and follow them through to ensure continuity, consistency and access to incentives. 

Highly detailed reporting using Salesforce.com Customer Relationship Management software (CRM), is time consuming, but necessary for state to prove results of outreach efforts.  

The most enjoyable part of the position is meeting and assisting clientele in their efforts toward progressive measures to reduce energy demands, improve opportunity for renewables, reduce their bottom lines, and meet state and federal objectives for conservation, efficiency and propagation of renewable energy, particularly solar.  Solar energy is accessible, sensible, readily available, naturally sourced, affordable (with incentives) and sustainable!

Work pace is slow, but work is often rewarding. Gained exposure to a wide array of technologies and energy policies. Upper management is strong. Promotion seems to be based on years of service as much as qualification and past performance. Co-workers are 90% great - but being a state organization it takes a long time to fire gross under performers. The environment is inherently political. The vacation policy is generous, and the benefits in many instances are outstanding.

Very hierarchal organization with a lot of bureaucracy. Nature of work and level of responsibility depends on your team and manager. Some really progressive and interesting work going on, but need to find the right team. NYC office tends to be more progressive than Albany. Pay is low but benefits are good.

Some people there are passionate about what they do but there is no mentoring or roadmap for promotions unless you know someone or are liked by the bosses. Nothing is based on how much you accomplish but how much everyone likes you. They treat interns better than staff and the HR department is nonexistent 

NYSERDA is ideal for recent college grads who are looking to get their foot in the door.  The quality of knowledge and experience at NYSERDA is second to none. The company also offers an exceptionally pleasant work environment with pleanty of room for growth.

I have worked at NYSERDA for less than five years and have found it to be a team-oriented culture where everyone helps each other. Although employees are hard workers, taking time with family and out of the office is highly encouraged. It is a great place to work!

I was assigned helpdesk tickets, I backed up various images for new system upgrades, and learned about server-side software installation via the cloud.

I also used VMware and teamviewer for remote desktop assistance.

Not one person really seemed to enjoy working there. Everyone was stressed by the redundancy and ultimately the waste of time most projects became as changes and project terminations occurred frequently.

Working here is an enjoyable experience for the most part. Everyone I have worked with has been very friendly and if you have questions they are more than willing to give you answers.

Great place to work. I was an intern and every day I had someone reaching out to me to get to know me. Everyone worked well as a team and were very open to helping me succeed.
