Pros

Great company, great people. Plenty of room for growth for an entry level engineer.

Cons

The location is by far the worst part of ERCOT. Taylor is too far from any reasonable location to live in Austin. Your choices are give up and live in Round Rock or drive 2 hours daily.

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.
