Pros

Very liberal PTO policy based on age.

Cons

401k match is modest. Pay is modest. Recently laid off 40% of IT staff. Directors lie to subordinates and fellow senior leadership. Director told another leader that they had offered a different position to a laid off employee with more pay and they said no, this never happened. Directors openly bragged about walking employees out of the building when they were let go. Directors pushed to outsource IT positions that protect our national utility to a foreign country. Outsource solution is subpar as they are not able to perform the tasks that they claimed.

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.
