About the company

David Energy sells electricity and wraps that supply with software that connects to devices like batteries, smart thermostats, and EV charging to help customers use power more efficiently. The company positions the platform as a way to lower bills while supporting a cleaner and more reliable grid. The public site also markets “dedicated advisors” and bill monitoring alongside device-focused programs for businesses and homes.

Locations and presence

David Energy lists headquarters in New York, NY and also references an office in Brooklyn across public profiles. Current hiring mixes remote roles with hybrid work tied to the New York City office.

Palpable Score

56.5

/ 100

David Energy has one real early-career entry point on the market right now, and the company shares pay ranges and benefits clearly on multiple roles. The score drops because most openings are senior, and public signals on candidate experience and employee sentiment are mixed, with limited proof of junior progression.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

9.0

/ 20

The company is hiring a Retail Ops Analyst labeled “Entry level,” but the requirements still ask for 2+ years in retail power operations and specific market knowledge (NYISO, PJM, ISO-NE).
David Energy’s other widely visible openings skew senior and leadership, including Head of Operations and Chief of Staff compensation bands that sit in executive territory.
The company does not show a recurring internship, graduate intake, or a steady set of 0–1 year roles across functions on the public boards reviewed.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.0

/ 20

The company publishes concrete pay ranges and benefits on postings, including the Retail Ops Analyst ($65k–$90k) and leadership roles that include base salary plus equity.
David Energy uses structured role write-ups with clear responsibilities and requirements, including regulatory reporting, utility ticket workflows, and tool expectations like Excel and SQL.
The company has at least one public interview report describing a multi-step process with a take-home presentation and a poor final-round experience, which is a hiring-fairness risk for early-career candidates.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company’s Retail Ops Analyst role includes meaningful operational ownership (back-office execution, process optimisation, regulatory reporting, utility coordination), which can build skills fast for early-career hires.
David Energy’s public job materials do not spell out onboarding mechanics like a 30-60-90 plan, mentoring, or a formal review cadence for juniors.
The company’s public employee sentiment is limited in volume and mixed, so it is hard to confirm consistent coaching quality across teams.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

14.3

/ 20

The company provides a clear salary band for the Retail Ops Analyst role and lists standard benefits such as medical and dental insurance, flexible PTO, and a 401(k).
David Energy includes equity in the compensation framing for several senior roles, but the company does not publicly explain how equity works for earlier-career hires.
The company has a low compensation-and-benefits satisfaction rating on public reviews, which introduces uncertainty even when ranges are posted.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

8.2

/ 20

The company has a low overall rating and recommendation rate on public employee reviews, which is a negative retention signal even with a small sample size.
David Energy has public feedback that points to churn risk in at least one function, including “revolving door” language in sales-related commentary.
The company’s LinkedIn footprint shows a small team, but public profiles do not give enough aggregated evidence of junior promotions, 12–24 month retention, or internal mobility patterns.
