Pros

- Fast growing, safe business model as Energy Retailer (Direct Energy) - Professional Corporate work culture - Great office & amenities - Hybrid or Remote working option available for most roles - Polite co-workers - Great work life balance - Unlimited PTO (subject to Manager's approval based on deal flows and busy last quarter of the year) - Supportive work culture for you to excel and move into other departments every 12-18months, if you so desire :-)

Cons

Can't think of any - this might be general "individual issues" (nothing I'm too worried about)

Pros

The advantages working at NRG were that they have a 401K plan (on which they offer a match), HSA, health insurance plans, and a decent time off period. Leadership listens to the employees and always promote team mentality, cross training and, cross collaboration.

Cons

It really is a good company to work for and in hindsight, should have just stayed there.

Pros

Variety of projects, opportunities to collaborate across teams, and exposure to different areas of the business.

Cons

Frequent leadership turnover creates constant shifts in priorities and makes it difficult to maintain long-term direction (I had eight different managers over seven years). Annual layoffs, often occurring around January, contribute to ongoing uncertainty and low morale. Many employees perceive the layoffs as happening in smaller rounds, which adds to the sense that job security is unpredictable. The culture can also feel cliquish, and your experience depends heavily on your manager; some teams foster collaboration, while others are more micromanagement-driven and less receptive to differing viewpoints.
