Pros

401K exceptional Strong benefits package Great company vision (Green Industry Leader) Global brand recognition (IBERDROLA) External lists and awards

Cons

Poor leadership (Generally) Talent and high performer turnover Promotion of incompetency Claims of high ethical values and awards that are at odds with actual priorities (profits) Lack of resourcing (personnel, initiative funding) Engagement activities do not lead to change Heavy global influence leading to uniformed and disconnected directives Poor external customer service and poor local community reputation DE&I focus is transactional and does not foster true inclusion Siloed departmental processes and procedures

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at AVANGRID. We take the concerns of our employees and former employees very seriously. This past year we have promoted many roles from within and further diversified our executive leadership team for stronger direction. Our relationship with Iberdrola helps us leverage best practices to enhance our operations across the business. Our commitment to our customers and community has never been stronger as we exceeded our volunteer hours goal this year and were recognized by Just Capital as a top company for workforce equity and mobility. This year we also expanded our DE&I team and launched a new tradition with Diversity Week. We will continue making serious efforts for driving a culture of employee retention & engagement and will mobilize our Business Resource Groups to identify areas of growth to improve our employees’ workplace experience.

Pros

Solid pay, amazing benefits, best 410k match I've ever seen. Very generous PTO.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement, very high turnover, getting anything accomplished is a challenge. Management knows there are major issues, but nothing changes. Job would be bearable if the manager were replaced. Way too much finger pointing.
