Pros

Very flexible work schedule and teleworking policy. Work/life balance is generally quite easy to maintain.

Cons

Individual contributors are buried under excessive layers of incompetent management that are all desperate to prove how useful they are. Turnover rate for top talent is pretty high, and what's left bubbles up into management, mostly based on seniority, not skill. Any attempt at innovation or original thought is quickly squashed by a pervasive "this is the way we've always done it" monoculture. Very slow to adapt. Pay for IT jobs is way below market average. Benefits are not what they used to be, so it's become even less competitive than it was in years past, and that's not saying much. Management has basically been a game of musical chairs for years now. Re-orgs several times a year means that your manager is pretty much guaranteed to not have a clue about what you specialize in, but that doesn't stop most of them from from micromanaging you and telling you how you should do your job.

Pros

Keep in mind this is in the eyes of an intern but: - employees are friendly and willing to help if asked - lots of learning opportunity - projects in which you can apply what you learned - lenient WFH

Cons

- the quality of your project can be dependent on which team you are on and your mentor guiding you

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.
