Great benefits (medical, vision, dental). Unlimited PTO
Contras
My experience at Intersect Power started off great, the first month was welcoming, supportive, and genuinely positive. Unfortunately, things changed quickly once the team became comfortable. The culture shifted into one of constant urgency, unclear boundaries, and an overwhelming and stressful workload. One of the biggest issues is the complete lack of respect for personal time. Managers frequently send questions late at night even around 11 p.m. and expect responses first thing the next morning. This has become a normal pattern, not an exception, which makes the job feel like you’re always “on call.” Even though the company advertises unlimited PTO, the reality is very different. You may technically take time off, but your manager will still reach out with questions and expect progress on tasks. It never truly feels like you’re off the clock. On top of this, the workday is filled with back-to-back meetings until 5pm which leaves almost no time to complete deliverables during actual work hours. Yet everything is still expected to be completed by “EOD,” regardless of how unrealistic that is. This forces employees to work excessive overtime hours just to keep up with the tasks they couldn’t finish during the nonstop meeting schedule. Another challenge is the sudden explosion of responsibilities. Out of nowhere, your to-do list becomes endless, and every single item is labeled as “urgent” and needed ASAP. There is little prioritization, and the stress level becomes incredibly high. While Intersect Power works on impressive projects, the internal culture especially on the management side needs significant improvement. The combination of poor work-life boundaries, constant overtime, unrealistic expectations, and pressure to respond around the clock leads to fast burnout. I hope the company takes these issues seriously and invests in creating a healthier, more sustainable work environment.
