Pros

No Pros. The days of competitive pay and benefits are gone for this company. You can getter better compensation elsewhere and stuck in a hostile work environment.

Cons

Hostile and toxic environment. Incompetent management. Culture of yes people. Club mentality. Constantly have to remain on guard for fear of saying the wrong thing to the wrong person. You can lose your job on the spot. It's literally that bad. Management pretends to care about its reports. Greed drives the company. CIO is totally incompetent. He is literally destroying the IT organization. President of Utilities is totally greed driven. CEO has no clue about how this company is being taken apart. People over a certain are treated poorly. Work and productivity suffers because of the inept decisions being made. Poor work life balance.

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.
