Pros
Calpine is a great place to advance your career. It is not uncommon to find directors in their 20's. I would say the average age of an employee here is ~33. The atmosphere is relatively laid-back and people enjoy a proper work-life balance. Most people are out of the office by 5 PM. Calpine also has great benefits and an attractive bonus program (when actually paid). Benefits include medical, dental, vision, and a 401k matching program (100% up to 5%).
Cons
Just like many other energy firms, talent comes and goes. Calpine is considered a stepping stone by many to reach the levels of the banks.
