Pros

- Work-life balance: Purely dependent on the role, but you are not expected to work outside of office hours. However, for my role, due to its nature, I have to; but I am compensated with time-off. - Culture: People here are nice. There is a positive work culture; and you meet people from all walks of life. - Robust HR system: HR matters are well managed and yearly reviews for bonus and increments are systematic and not arbitrary.

Cons

- Leadership: You have managers and bosses; but no leaders. Be prepared to do work that you should not be doing (outside your role); or do work that you could be doing, but are not empowered to. Upper management will not steer the ship for you, you have to take the oars and row and figure it out along the way. - Renumeration/Bonus: Although systematic, when it comes to brass tacks, your experience is dependent on your superior. This is related to the first point. - Lack of Networking: Although they have a large network in dozens of countries, you may feel secluded to your own locale ironically. Hence, your work and prospects within cannot achieve its full potential given this attribute of them.

Pros

I was skeptical at first because from the beginning I felt valued as an employee. I finally had great pay, awesome work life balance, a solid team, and a manager that can relate and looks to build employees for their next position. I’ve been with the company for a while now and nothing has changed. Still the best company I have ever worked for.

Cons

Now that I can think of, and I have thought about it a lot.

Pros

Great supporting staff of technicians, performance engineering, ROCC (this may surprise some former coworkers that I thought very highly of them lol), OT, and NERC Compliance.

Cons

Significant disconnect between C-Suite and Upper Management level employees and field staff, lack of transparency, did not follow through on performance review for 5% salary increase after 90 days, motto “We don’t want to be the biggest, we want to be the best” does not match action.
