      Currently not a good choice for employment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ability to live outside of large urban area. A culture and work environment traditionally considered above average among large multinational corporations.

      Cons

      Now laying off around 10000. Few know whom will be impacted. Bad time for this industry now.

      Not a good place to be in the long run

      Senior engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - you have a job, some decent benefits and possibly some good coworkers depending on which department you are working in

      Cons

      - no accountability for groups - not for the young and the talented, once you make a name for yourself, leave to a better place!! - unrealistic expectations from managers to meet deadlines - plenty of micromanagement with people when management does not get what they want - yes man culture, if you do not bring up your own opinion it is better - majority of the team members are stressed and overworked - when there is a cost reduction, expect to not have a job - lots of bureaucracy to get things done and it is a very slow company - the old boys club is alive and well in electric power - for engineers the career growth is limited
