Pros

Generally very nice colleagues at your level, some flexibility in workload order, large utility with intriguing problems to solve, utility is starting to recognize it is having difficulty keeping young engineers

Cons

Upper management is not greatly invested in being direct with or compensating employees at a competitive industry rate, very high turnover rate for a utility, message from management is often to do more with less, needlessly strict work environment in some areas of the business, suggestions will often fall on deaf ears, utility is often backwards thinking and not prone to change, many projects do not have owners because of the high turnover (many things fall through the crack), the problem keeping engineers as the older employees retire has not inspired great introspection or change

Pros

The employees that actually and actively do work and come together.

Cons

This company promotes bullying and has zero work life balance, they basically have reverted back to the 50s in relation to office first policy! So equated and behind the generations. The CEO Darin Carroll of Pacificorp was on a zoom call saying how he dislikes WFH as he was obviously at home on the call, you just can't make this stuff up, VPs quit and they turn around and get promoted because no one wants to work for a culture of favoritism and bullying!
