Pros

Flexible hours, plenty of free time due to ridiculous change-control process, cool people for the most part.

Cons

Change control, vague and poorly interpreted regulation, top-down project management, terrible inter-team communication, terrible insurance providers, wastes money on applications that never get fully implemented, no technical leadership, vendor lock-in requires maintaining ancient technology.

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.
