Great exposure to a number of different areas related to grid management including generation, transmission, renewables, and market systems. Peaceful drive from Round Rock, great benefits, gym and health benefits. Work-life balance is amazing.

Cons

Far from Austin if that's your preferred location. Constant fighting among departments. Average salaries. Has a number of downsides of being a non-profit

Pros

-From a Power Systems perspective the job provides unique exposures as the ISO operates the entire Interconnection as it's a small island unlike the Eastern and Western interconnections. -Low and Middle management do in fact listen to their employees. -Work culture promotes flexibility and freedom as long as we deliver results. -Work/life balance is generally good compared to other companies.

Cons

-Pay could be better given industry strandard. -Depending on your department lots of after hours working during projects outside the regular job duties. -Referencing the aforementioned con, work/life balance can be poor during projects.
