Pros

Money, Peers usually make it a good environment

Cons

Ethical issues, lack of management concern for subordinates, management has a fake concern for you, often requests feedback, but information provided is either sensored, or employees are retaliated against for telling the reality, laid off 900 employees 2 weeks before Christmas with less than 1 month notice for most for the only purpose of making profits look better to shareholders, oftentimes those laid off were politically motivated. Reality is this company is not concerned about saving money internally, they are only concerned about public perception. They have no problem sticking it to the rate payers. Our facility was instructed to cut $18 million out of our budget, next year the CEO gets an $18 million bonus.

Pros

Keep in mind this is in the eyes of an intern but: - employees are friendly and willing to help if asked - lots of learning opportunity - projects in which you can apply what you learned - lenient WFH

Cons

- the quality of your project can be dependent on which team you are on and your mentor guiding you

Pros

Strong job stability in a regulated utility environment, along with competitive pay and solid benefits package. My immediate team is genuinely supportive and collaborative — we work well together and have each other's backs. The work itself offers a sense of purpose given the essential nature of the industry.

Cons

Upper management operates with limited transparency and decisions flow strictly top-down, with little visibility into the reasoning behind strategic choices. The compensation structure does not differentiate for high performers — annual raises tend to land at or below inflation. Work groups across the department are heavily siloed, which limits cross-functional collaboration and slows knowledge sharing and adds frustration.
