Pros

Xcel provides a critical service within the US

Cons

Benefits are mediocre at best; for example, there's only ONE high deductible medical plan that requires employees to pay a hefty out of pocket before coverage kicks in. PTO is mediocre with slow accrual. 3x in office required, $20 to park daily as company doesn't pay for parking, office is in Denver which is increasingly becoming more congested and crime-ridden. Management is self serving and narcissistic, does not care about leading and providing direction to staff, very hands off, you will not get feedback or be groomed for growth in the company, no mentorship, not a team player culture, the list goes on. Pay is also mediocre compared to similar roles elsewhere. There is no incentive to make a career at Xcel.

Pros

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
