Saving energy is as fun as it sounds
Here are a few excerpts from life at OPOWER. Some of it – like President Obama coming to visit us – is pretty OMAZING. And some of it is embarrassing. See for yourself.
Obama Visits OPOWER
It's not every day that the President of the United States stops by your office to deliver a major national policy speech and commend your company’s achievements. POTUS spent a solid half an hour at OPOWER, including 15 minutes of handshakes and photos after his live, televised appearance.
Quarterly Company Outing
We've always prided ourselves on our transparency. Our quarterly meetings provide us all with candid updates on our company growth and performance. We've recently started a new tradition here at OPOWER – our quarterly meetings are now followed by an "all hands on deck" party. This summer, we cruised the Potomac River on a boat for the afternoon, with open bar, DJ, and dancing. What a Wednesday!
Innovation Day
On Innovation Day, everyone at OPOWER has the opportunity to shut out the outside world and focus on developing new ideas. Our recent results were mind-blowing, and will help shape our company’s future. OPOWER CEO, Dan Yates, also developed the company's first 'Values' video that day. Trust us, we make software better than we do film...
Viva Cinco de Mustache!
A bona fide OPOWER tradition, now in its third year! Started by a small group of our engineers—and now embraced by the entire company (including staff of all genders)—Cinco de Mustache sees us refrain from shaving for the entire month leading up to Cinco de Mayo. On May 5th, beards disappear as people bring their most creative mustaches to work. We'll let the photos speak for themselves on this one (and remember, we told you some of this material is embarrassing!)
