      Awful manager: over his head, ignorant, retired-in-place

      Lead data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Easy work. Relative stability. Easy to stay up to date since tech they use is behind the curve.

      Cons

      Lots of old managers with obsolete technical skills, survivors of mergers and acquisitions, unable to effectively manage change. Sluggish organization, all talk no action regarding transformation and change. No onboarding or career development. Lots of churn in the middle/upper layers, constant reorgs.

      toxic env, incompetent managers

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      work life balance, good pay and bonus. Utility companies have almost zero competition and its essential for living, so there are always paying customers, that means stability and profits. Its a decent place to retire, if thats the intent. What helps is 'keep your head down' (this was advise from an actual retiree) and say 'yes boss'. A lot of people are there to retire and they will defend it with everything, so don't come in their way and you are good.

      Cons

      extremely slow career growth, if at all. toxic env and managers will push back against any good idea, if its not theirs or if they can't understand it. 401K vests in 3 years, so there is high churn in new joinees, some leave because they love their career, some let go before vesting kicks in and some wait it out to 3 years and leave. Customer satisfaction is abysmal, but there is little desire to improve. Strategy changes frequently, teams are restructured and everything restarts, but not much changes.
