Q&A With Clearesult Employees

Reasonable and negotiable. Again, results are the driver and as long as those are being achieved the work life balance is reasonable. When results are not met, the worknlife balance does tilt towards the work side which is to be expected.

5/10

CLEAResult is a high risk high reward environment and clear market leader with highly performing staff and Quick decisionmaking. It is great to work for the unquestioned market leader but it does come with high expectations. I enjoy working in a high energy environment where the sky’s the limit

Diversity reflects the office in which CLEAReault operates. The Chicago office has a lot of ethnic diversity; the Portland office where I work much less so

How fast the pace is.

Positive. Professional.

Typically 45-minute to one hour interviews

Please come prepared with data to back up anything that you say, with plenty of personal examples of demonstrated performance. Be fair and balanced, acknowledging both strengths and improvement areas.

How will you help me grow when my market is in sharp decline?

Quicker process (again, quick decision making). Tough but fair negotiator on the offer.

I met with several executives during the interview process. The offer came quickly.

Professional dress. Tie is optional for men.

What is your perspective on growth? How do you maintain growth in challenging markets and with challenging sales / operational environments? How do you perform under pressure?

As long as positive results are being driven and KPIs are being met, entirely flexible

Yes they do, normally given to employees after being with the company for some time. Rarely given to new hires.

Easy - expect technical questions if you're an engineer.

Build a proposition for what you offer your employees beyond a paycheck, and then live it. The EE space, when not properly protected by an engaged corporate culture, can leave employees feeling as though they're participating in a scheme to defraud rate payers. You've got to actively combat that.

Many thought that the incoming CEO was a sign of an impending sale and/or attempt to build towards an IPO. Neither seem to be in the cards for the immediate future.

Their business is not growing quickly - they are pursuing Demand Response work, but not having the easiest time cracking into the market. The business environment is healthy - all of the difficulties facing CLEAResult are due to underinvestment in technological capabilities and a relatively poor M&A integration process.

Not anymore. Product development there is essentially dead for the time being.
