I feel this company genuinely cares about my career development and has sent me to multiple in-person training events over the years. Other companies I've worked at haven't been willing to invest in their employees like that.
Management is extremely transparent with employees about the financial performance of the company, raises, and bonuses. They even talk openly about areas where they could be doing better and are looking to improve.
Cons
The base salary is a bit lower than the competitors, but this is more than made up for by the end-of-year bonus. Which is performance-based and is significantly higher than the competition.

Thanks for your review! We’re so glad you love working for POWER, and we love to hear how much you care about the company! It’s genuinely appreciated.
Was a genuinely great place to work. Great people and great culture. It was worth the slightly-lower-than-average pay because work life balance and benefits were great. I enjoyed going to work every day.
Cons
Poor financial decisions from upper management regarding the shareholder program led to the company's demise. Upper management sold out to WSP. Management made millions while long time employees got zilch. As someone else had mentioned, retention bonuses were unfairly distributed. Most people didn't get any retention bonus even if they had been long time employees of the company. It really felt like everyone who wasn't upper management got stabbed in the back. They got their payout then dumped the company. Still stings to this day.
