Pros

Duke Energy has decent benefits, and also has been a pretty secure place to work. That may be changing though.

Cons

The culture has changed through the recent mergers, it is complicated to complete work. Salaries for engineers is currently not on par compared to other roles at Duke Energy, and the industry in general.

Good company but not flexible

Pros

Duke is great when it comes to pay and benefits. I have found they typically pay above market and the benefits are better than most companies.

Cons

The downside is almost no flexibility for working parents. They talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. They are consistently listed as being great for working mothers, but my experience is that it depends on your manager. I currently have a manager who detests flexible scheduling of any kind. In certain departments, face-time is valued over productivity. For example, I have small children, and get lectured if I need to come in late or leave early, and working from home is forbidden. But in contrast, I have a co-worker who frequently sleeps at his desk. Priorities, anyone?
