      PGE is a great place to work, learn, and grow in responsibility and experience.

      Pros

      Management is supportive of growth objectives and there are many training opportunities. The atmosphere is relatively safe for trying new things. People are allowed to make mistakes without immediate consequences to one's future.

      Cons

      A number of programs are not as far along in maturity as in other companies. Standardization in IT is in progress, but may lag industry in general.

      A stable place to work with a family atmosphere.

      Pros

      Two reasons it is nice place to work: it is a regulated monopoly so the company works hard to maintain a positive public image. Also, people tend to work there for a long time so close relationships are developed. It is a nice combination.

      Cons

      The low employee turnover means that new ideas are harder to come by, and the average age is older than any other place I've worked. It can be a bit stodgy. Because it is under public scrutiny and MUST have solid delivery of its product, business tends to move slowly.

      Pros

      First off: I was employed by PGE for only one week back in 2005. Due to my own, ahem, mistake (read: foolishness) I left for "greener pastures". Therefore, chances are my review is completely different from reality. However, I decided to post what I observed during the 1 week I spent there. 1. Superb benefits package. 2. Competent management, both the top and middle-level. 3. Super nice working conditions. You work in the heart of Portland, on the waterfront, in a modern building, spacious quiet cubicle, very high speed internet, top-of-the line computers etc. 4. Overall, very mature, professional and well run organization.

      Cons

      In general I cannot say I saw any. For me the commute was long (but it has nothing to do with the job)
