Calpine reviews

You work with a skeleton work force as management seemed to care more about MW/number of employees ratio being as high as possible.

The corporate office doesn't promote from within, even if you're qualified. They treat you like a commodity and like a number. The managers (including directors and VP's) aren't held accountable OR reviewed like the "minions" are. If you think hard work will get you anywhere here, think again. They'll promote from within only specific people, and they promote people running departments that have never been in that department before (completely without ANY experience). I don't know anyone that enjoys working here, except for those "special" people that happen to get promoted. They give you so much work that you can't breathe and then you get into trouble if you don't do all of the tasks without asking for help or asking for another way to do things. If you can play the political game, and enjoy it, then this is the place for you!
