Duke Energy Corporation.....A Big Slow Utility

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Duke is a very large utility that offers better than average job security for those individuals that do like like to work in a dynamic company.

Cons

Duke Energy as a whole makes decisions at the pace of a glacier and is very risk adverse, so if you want to work in a cube the rest of your life.....this is the place for you!

Good company to work for if you are looking for large responsibility quickly.

Intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ample opportunities exist to grow and develop in a technical field. The senior employees are very willing to share knowledge and experience with junior members of the workforce. The company is not shy about giving employees large responsibilities. Project management is the general theme when it comes to engineering work so projects ranging in size are there for the taking.

Cons

The compensation level is not outstanding, but average. Internally, the company has the feel of a government bureaucracy as it has close ties to the government in how its budgets are set and in the speed with which the company operates.
