Pros

Team members care for each other at the individual contributor level. Pay is competitive and bonus is discretionary but normally very good.

Cons

Technology leadership changes have no care for their teams, their people or the work they do. New leadership cleaned out several hundred years of utility leadership and brought in retail compatriots with no postings, no recruiting or interviewing. All hand picked from their previous failed roles. HR lost control. Outsourcing offshore regardless of quality is the goal. The people no longer matter to the new leadership in technology and if they do not like you, they start a PIP with unrealistic goals. The CIO and almost the whole next two levels of employees were forced out with no help from HR or Senior leadership. Sad times at AEP in my opinion.

Pros

Competitive Pay and few good people left to work with

Cons

Outsourcing to TCS, Confused upper management. Nobody is held accountable. Projects never get completed. IT is held up by about 6 key people and I don't think upper management has a clue how precarious it is.
