      Pros

      some good colleagues, but doesn't matter because frequent reorgs will change everything.

      Cons

      reorg every year, no stability, constant changes from the entire chain of command.

      Pros

      Keeping the lights on never goes out of style, you'll have rock solid job security if your function is actually involved in providing that. There is a generally strong work-life balance culture, although some teams are understaffed and struggling to keep up. Prior to the pandemic that culture already exited but we had been a relatively traditional corporate workplace, since then we've really gotten into the "you're an adult, just get your job done" mentality. We work on systems that have a certain awe-inspiring scale and drama to them. Parts of this job are really [community standards]ing awesome.

      Cons

      Salaries can lag behind other industries, and the formal policies and procedures can feel kind of stifling - title growth and internal promotion are still close to 100% seniority based. The organization is also pretty siloed and, I mean, it is a utility - change isn't always celebrated and thinking can be rigid. So ambition is checked not only by seniority focused policies but also by the way that going above and beyond may sometimes not be welcomed.

      Pros

      Forward thinking utility - always looking for efficiencies and staying ahead of the curve. For a utility to be this adaptive to the community it’s uncommon.

      Cons

      Always on call - this company places huge effort in meeting the needs of the community during weather events. Our customers lives are impacted when service is disrupted.
