Stay Away

Senior strategist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Don't have the same level of job insecurity as the Big 3

Cons

Overly bureaucratic and your direct supervisor completely controls your life, future with the company and compensation. Different business units rarely work together and when they do, they seek to throw each other under the bus. Unbelievable amount of administrative work and office politics. Absolutely stay away from this awful company that cares about the bottom line only and not its employees and customers.

Great corporate culture/structure but the worst nuclear organization I've experienced

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Corporate culture is great CEO is great

Cons

Nuclear generation is poor performer with respect to industry and not getting significantly better. Night and weekends are typical every week due to some unforeseen equipment or paperwork issue. They say it's getting better but it really isn't. They are burying things that will continue to haunt them for many years to come. Nuclear senior management is easily the worst I've worked for. Only care about production, NOT people or their work life balance. HR is silent and letting directors/VP run the place out of control. 401k is pathetic - you have to VEST before you get a dime from the company (greater than 3 years). They either don't make this available to new hires, or it's buried in the fine print.

Sexual harassment

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and that’s about it.

Cons

Sexual harassment in certain locations was swept under the rug as well as many other things. The things said to me by people in management were unbelievable. If I were to post what was said to me on here it would probably get taken down that’s how bad it was. Not only were terrible things said to me, I also had to ask someone on many occasions to stop touching me.
