Neutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at TransAlta full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Interesting business environment. Lots of opportunities to take on different roles (if you know the right people). Stable business (although market gets tougher).
Cons
Internal procedures and leadership style a bit 'dusty' (well, it is an old company). A tendency to rely on external resources to fill open positions and to provide advice instead of relying on internal know-how.
Advice to Management
Be open to change and try new (unconventional) ideas.
