SRP reviews

Slow promotion schedule Large bureaucracy Compensation growth limited Regulations inhibit innovation Municipal status limits growth opportunities and profit opportunities resulting in limited upside to compensation particularly in energy trading areas Poor office quality e.g. furniture, cubicles, lighting, etc. Managers have a tendency to micromanage because finance, technology, and accounting positions tend to be greatly overstaffed resulting in a light workload Limited opportunities for advancement beyond senior engineer/analyst level

Poor performers (dead wood) are rewarded with the same raise as good performers. SRP rarely fires people. Most people have been there >10 yrs and it is the one and only job most employees have ever had - hired right out of HS or college and never leave. Not for profit so "it gets done when it gets done, it takes as long as it takes, and this is how we've always done it". New experienced hires will pull their hair out trying to change the culture. Very risk averse and slow to adopt new ideas or technologies.
