PGE has a culture of inclusivity and respect for all workers. We are especially proud of our long-serving, knowledgeable, and highly skilled, tenured employees. To recognize our long-standing employees, many of our benefit plans reward tenure at PGE, acknowledging the invaluable experience those employees bring to our company, our customers, and their co-workers.

Pros

Strong match for 401k; kind + smart coworkers.

Cons

Politics and favoritism run rampant. The team functioned as if it was 1985- it's not. Our work was not innovative, proactive or forward thinking. I recieved a bad review for being dedicated to DEI initiatives. 1. How could this be a bad thing? 2. The website and executives tout that PGE is devoted to this work. 3. In this current time, companies are expected to do more and be better. My role as a communicator was to make the brand look good - there was nothing to sell and nothing to learn. You didn't fall in line, and do what had been done for years, and you were fired, or moved. There is no room to grow or innovate.
