A rudderless ship

Numerous leadership positions

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are extraordinary (legacy Duke; not the former Progress employees who have brought in very negative elements). Great teaming, great focus on the customer at most customer facing parts of the organization but noticeably absent at critical levels.

Cons

Risk aversion nature killing innovation and suppressing the skills that are desperately needed. Duke is turning into a place that welcomes mediocrity as long as it doesn't disrupt "the ship." Really talented people in their fields would never / should never consider Duke.

Business Outlook

Pros

There is definitely longevity with Duke. Depending on the department, there is an element of family.

Cons

There is a sense or an attitude that if you come in certain departments that you should just now how to do a job and that if you ask questions about the job, not many people are willing to help you. They'd rather look down on you.

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting place to work. Industry is quickly changing. Fair compensation and opportunities for advancement. Values employees. Excellent job security. Safety of employees and communities are very high priorities.

Cons

Slow moving sometimes. Heavily regulated. "Old school" mentality is still in effect in some departments. Has a stigma associated with it as a "fossil fuel burning" company.
