Profit above all - Engineer/Operations/Manager MidAmerican Energy Employee Review

Pros

Decent pay & benefits - though the benefits have been reduced significantly over the past 15 years. Good co-workers for the most part.

Cons

Sr Management is focused on maximizing profit over all else. Treating employees well is barely an afterthought. Morale has been declining for years. When Berkshire Hathaway took over I had heard that they will be a great financial stabilizer, but will squeeze the company like a turnip to get the last ounce of profit out and it turned out to be true. Budgets are cut to the bone - except for wind power projects, which Sr Management has convinced regulators to allow an 11% + return. One Sr Manager in particular has single-handedly demoralized about 1/3 of the company with his attitude and policies - his ego was so large I'm amazed it fit through a doorway. If you disagreed with him, he would find ways either get you fired or make your life miserable and you would want to leave.

Pros

There are good people within management position that make it worth coming to work

Cons

The company policies are archaic and unaccommodating to work-life balance. In addition to breaking contracts, if you were hired fully remote they forced everyone back into the office 5 days a week, as well as forcing their H1-B visa employees to move to a different city after years of establishing a life in other states, they are cruel. They do not offer room for personal growth, any instance that involves HR is not transparent and seems purposely meant to display the power relationship of a large corporation over their employees
