      Pros

      There are many opportunities to learn and move up - more career mobility than anywhere else I've worked. My boss, my team, and my department are solid.

      Cons

      There have been big some changes in the last year that made things feel a little unstable for a minute - things have settled down and are feeling stable now, though.

      CEO Review

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The CEO provides clear strategic direction around reliability, affordability, and the clean energy transition, which is especially valuable in a complex, highly regulated utility environment. Leadership has been steady and values-driven through periods of significant industry change, with a strong emphasis on safety, integrity, and accountability. The CEO empowers senior leaders to own outcomes and encourages cross-functional collaboration, helping the organization operate more cohesively across planning, commercial, and operational functions. Externally, the CEO brings credibility with regulators, policymakers, and other stakeholders, positioning the company as thoughtful and responsible in public and investor-facing settings.

      Cons

      Any perceived tradeoffs—such as a deliberate approach to decision-making or emphasis on alignment and rigor—are largely a function of operating responsibly in a regulated utility context and ultimately strengthen long-term outcomes rather than detract from them.
