Pros

Good work life balance Great people generally

Cons

Poor leadership at the top. The company has been in a budget crisis year after year and nobody is held accountable. They are sieving talent at the engineering side due to poor salary and benefits but keep hiring managers and directors. HR has said for years that they are going to "adjust salary structure for Engineering" but it has been nothing but empty promises. You can make more and have better benefits at other utilities or firms.

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
