Pros

Large Company that expands across many disciplines. I find that Duke as a whole is a really good company. Great benefits, flex time, and in my former department Fridays we had off (4-10 schedule).

Cons

In my division, I found that it was hard to try a different position once you were in your current role. You become the expert and no one really wants to allow you to expand your knowledge on other things. I worked in the Nuclear Division and making moves outside of the Nuclear world within the company proved to be hard at times. So in the nuclear department career development wasn't so expansive unless you were gearing up to be a manage within that particular organization. Again, Duke is huge so the opportunities are there and expand far beyond the nuclear world so it would have been nice to be able to explore some of those options.

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.
