Pros

DTE uses "overpaid consultants" to figure out what makes a company a good place to work, but they actually listen to the recommendations developed. When I was employed there for two years, we had mandatory meetings to discuss improvements in useful areas of employee engagement (with *actual* support from management). We cared about each-other, and were never afraid to ask questions or sound stupid. As an engineer, that always bothers me, but DTE made me feel comfortable with it.

Cons

These "cons" are very petty, I really can't think of much... My department was old-fashioned, they didn't allow telecommuting at all. They only had one kind of coffee for free. Escalation of actual, legitimate problems took longer than I wanted (but always eventually happened) - it was on the order of months, not days (that's what it's like at a utility company though).

Pros

As much as this company allows you to learn, use this opportunity for experience and for your resume so you can move on to better things.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging and also unfairness. Overwhlemed with work and training and bosses believe we got the time for all of it. They give certain people, usually the new employees, do more than their job title asked for because they don't trust them or because they take advantage. Older employees don't need to do such training because they are relatives. Severely underpaid and management believes getting a promotion with little pay and more overtime makes up for your title. Management believes they are better than you and don't like being at fault and give the most outlandish excuse for any problems that arise.
