NextEra Energy, Inc. reviews

Highly political. Many incompetent managers and VP's. Highly level of nepotism up to the VP level. Little training. No real employee improvement or development. You either sink or swim in positions with no help. Worst leadership style of any fortune 200 company. Employee engagement and corporate value initiative spawned from dozens of lawsuits that are usually settled. But current CEO openly disregards Employee engagement as a PR front. Its basically dishonest to the employees. Company boasts best employee to mega watt ratio in nation and promotes the small over worked staff levels even though more costly mistakes happen due to overload and parallel processing too Many items, tasks or problems. Promotions and job awards are openly on a politicized and relationship basis and not the company policy of post-award based on merit and skill and experience. Agree with engineering managers post here. Specifically in Power Generation Department these problems all exist and are at a turning point. It's not the entire company but power generation is the identified leader with world leading performance that is being modeled for all other departments including nuclear. Let's hope that safety and employee safety are not affected next. We have to measure success at the cost to actually achieve it. The cost has been too high in this case and competition is good but not with total disregard. We can do this better but being number 1 at what ever the cost is irresponsible and unsustainable.

You are expected to give 200% of your time. If you perform your job per your job requirements and description you will get poor reviews year after year. You are expected to exceed your job requirements at all times; yet at review time this is only "acceptable" not "exceeds". There is no chance for advancement by your qualifications and/or performance. Upper management changes your job or promotes you per others perception of you; not your job performance. This leads to incompetent persons holding middle management positions. Nextera continually stressed the importance of teamwork but I saw numerous times (incompetent middle management) blaming employees for short comings when it was the supervisor's fault all along. Decisions and deadlines are made by upper management; middle management does not explain why these deadlines cannot be made and the project moves forward only to miss said deadlines. Who is blamed? The worker bees. None of the management takes the fall for promising something that cannot be attained. This company will contue to succeed and make money but at the cost of working people to death and finding someone new to do it when they are worn out and people come to their senses and move on.
