Pros

I had a great time at POWER as a new engineer out of college. There's a large variety of projects, and I learned so much about technical topics and project management due to the distributed leadership structure. Even new hires can end up with quite a bit of responsibility, so if you're motivated and a good learner this is a great way to progress.

Cons

As you get into the mid-career level, at about 5 years of experience, there can be too much pressure to perform technical work, project management work, and mentoring without an appropriate raise in compensation. You cannot be an employee owner until 7 years minimum and need to buy into the program. This may be worth it for you or it may not, and there does come a decision point.

Pros

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.
