Pros

The entire industry is on the brink of changing. Everything will be different, which is extremely exciting if you like solving problems. This company is well slated to tackle the US regulated utility market. No matter what you want to work on, Duke probably has it. Company is ready for HUGE growth in the next few years, which means huge opportunity.

Cons

Old people run the show, so if you like using a 1970's thinking model, this is your place (this is not sarcasm). If you like progressive thinking and innovation, wait 5-10 years. Over half the company can retire in 5 years. The older generation is backing up the pipeline for personal promotion and advancement, which hurts the company. They don't understand global environments. The new CEO cut ties to international organizations. She has no vision for what growth looks like in the 21st century--too small of a thinker.

Pros

Strong job stability in a regulated utility environment, along with competitive pay and solid benefits package. My immediate team is genuinely supportive and collaborative — we work well together and have each other's backs. The work itself offers a sense of purpose given the essential nature of the industry.

Cons

Upper management operates with limited transparency and decisions flow strictly top-down, with little visibility into the reasoning behind strategic choices. The compensation structure does not differentiate for high performers — annual raises tend to land at or below inflation. Work groups across the department are heavily siloed, which limits cross-functional collaboration and slows knowledge sharing and adds frustration.
