Very 1960's place to work - Anonymous employee Southern Company Employee Review

Pros

Some really talented engineers and pipeline people. Some great people come to work there but the best and brightest leave pretty quickly.

Cons

The lip service to the "values" are hollow as the HR executives break the very HR rules they espouse and expect others to abide by (and that's the top executive of HR, no less). For a publicly traded company, I was surprised by the heavier focus on wining and dining regulators than focusing on growing employee productivity and shareholder value. NOT a truly diverse company which is a standout in the South.
