While I'm proud to work at Sunnova and like the work I'm doing, there is a culture gap with remote workers vs. Houston-based workers, making me feel a bit isolated at times. More can and should be done on this front.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
While Sunnova is a solid company with a lot of growth potential, I believe there are numerous internal barriers to achieve true success. Some executives prefer political finger pointing and "lipstick on a pig" to owning what we need to work on and laying down a clear, roadmapped vision for success.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Great industry and company shows promise, but internally, the marketing department needs a ton of work. Many of us know what it takes to do well, but innovation and creativity are stifled by corporate bloat and obstacle-ridden processes.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They push you to do great work.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
My base salary and annual bonus.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
My salary and generous PTO
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
No synergy amongst remote workers.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They're smart and talented, but directionless when it comes to my department (marketing).
What are some of the best things about your team?
Work cohesively and are small enough that we can act nimbly and efficiently.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
There is no discernible company culture amongst remote workers in the marketing department.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Lack of culture, good work and creativity stifled (primarily by legal) and finger-pointing at the VP level
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The salary is good, but the health insurance premium and deductible is too high compared to previous employers.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Working remotely on the marketing team, there seems to be a distinct lack of defined culture. There is not a lot of fun to be had.
What makes you most happy at work?
There is so much potential, and my team and I know what it takes to reach it. However, there are a number of hurdles to overcome.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
We have goals, but no clear vision to achieve them. Other departments also have conflicting goals (legal vs. marketing), making it a battle to win out — an unsustainable work model. There is also no dis
What are some of the best things about your team?
Mine is a team within a team, so we're a bit on the smaller end, which makes getting to know and engage with each other much easier. We are a true team and show up to support each other every day.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
While my immediate team is great, other teams work in silos - making it tough to collaborate. There is also a lack of culture for remote workers, and no opportunities to visit the Houston HQ. Would be nice to be able to go to a Town Hall or holiday party in person.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
As a remote worker, I have not noticed any discernible culture or environment at Sunnova. Even the Quarterly Town Halls seem to be geared toward people working in the office. Would be nice if remote workers got $10-15 to get lunch during those events, at the same time lunch is provided to HQ people.
