Pros

Alliant Energy pays extremely well. As with any job where the pay “seems too good to be true” you should ask yourself why that is. Many times it’s because you are being compensated for a poor culture.

Cons

Somewhere along the line, the company became more focused on the bottom line and share price, and lost the focus on caring about the employees. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the customer, which will be good for business. Alliant Energy leadership’s focus is on taking care of the shareholders. It’s very financially focused at the expense of the employee.

Pros

The execs were nice to me because i told them what they wanted to hear when I was there. They treated me really well.

Cons

Now that I am gone....I have to say the place fell off the cliff with the new current leadership. It is absolutely amazing that the company is alive, but we know that it is because it is a regulated utility (quasi government). Management thinks they are super people.....quite the opposite. They are marginal at best. I climbed the ladder over the decades and sacrificed my soul and my integrity for money. Now that I have left the company, I have to shed myself of all the dirt and grim i built up over the years. It is hard and i feel sick for my actions over the years. Unless you want to drink the kool aid and sell your soul, do not join this company. Please!!!!

Pros

- Many great co-workers that care and show personal interest in each other -Pay and vacation are pretty decent -70% tuition match up to ~$5,300/yr -8% 401k match

Cons

I have worked here for over 10 years and have seen many forward thinking, bold, creative people/leaders let go in favor of backwards thinking, yes men. The company promotes strong culture and bold leadership but when you do those things there is no upside. The majority of the executive leadership does not practice what they preach. There is little chance of meaningful and fair promotion when they continually hire external directors and executives. The company is short sighted with initiatives and long term planning. All they care about is stock price and will cut departments and burden employees to get it. I suppose this is not different than many corporations and should be expected but at least stop lying to your employees about your values and mission when you do not follow them.
