Pros

Good salary, and good benefits

Cons

Upper management is a real problem. They constantly change direction, and don't have any answers for upcoming challenges that will face the utility industry. They seem more intent to add to their own bank account than develop employees. Completely inauthentic, they market themselves as caring about their community, and then they move IT jobs down to Washington DC, all this after record setting earnings. If you join this company, be prepared to have to interview for a job again during a reorganization, which seem to happen every six months. Should you receive a promotion into a leadership role, you will be attend ample training in leadership principles, but if you really pay attention, you'll notice none of these evident amongst the leaders above you. The leadership ranks are full of people who simply can't execute. They have created a toxic environment that's racked with the stress of saying the wrong thing in front of the wrong person.

Pros

Engineering team is young and open for innovative ideas. Everyone supports and respects each other and willing to help and learn from each other. As a contractor - it is a very smooth and stress-free work experience.

Cons

Might be little bureaucratical when it comes to paperwork & processes but this is a large utility so this is expected or even required. People tend to rotate a lot and it makes it difficult to find support & training but everyone understand it and there is no pressure on workload most of the time allowing you to finish the job without a lot of pressure.
