Pros
Sense of purpose, plenty of people trying to do the right thing

Barriers to execution are endless, employees come last, workplace bullying at leadership levels, lots of talk but contradictory action when it comes to diversity and inclusion, wasteful spending

Thank you for being a part of our team at Xcel Energy for over 20 years. Bullying is never tolerated or acceptable, and we take our commitment to workplace diversity and inclusion very seriously. Please contact the HR Service Center at 800.689.7662 or hrservicectr@xcelenergy.com so that we can address these issues.
Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.
Cons
AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
