      Pros

      Compensation, dynamic work environment, always complex work to do and work with smart people

      Cons

      Employee morale is low at the moment and most people are not inspired to put in the extra effort to get work done, senior management is not engaged with the employees and does not do a good job communicating with the employees

      Great place to work but continuously in flux

      Pros

      NRG continuously innovates and tries to find its soul with the moving market conditions. If you are in the right circles, you can get very good experience and opportunities. The Benefit programs are very good including 401k, bonus & health plans. It is a great place to work IF you are in the right department/right management.

      Cons

      There is a flip side to the Pros listed above. Since the company is in flux, management changes often and you may sometimes find yourself in a difficult situation and a difficult role, trying to please new management with their preferences. It can be an unforgiving experience if you take a chance and fail.
