Pros

Portland General Electric was a great place to work. I developed a number of skills managing several complex projects. I have nothing but positive things to say about PGE.

Cons

Salaries are not the most competitive. The management style remains hierarchical. Opportunities for change are sometimes resisted and overlooked.

Pros

A very complex business, tons to learn for many many years. Some really cool people, culture seems to be improving in some parts of the company.

Cons

IT department is management heavy and execution light. The IT managers are all trying to out do one another with strategic thinking, journey maps and buzz words. When it comes to rolling up sleeves and creating solutions, they seem to default to hiring consultants.

Pros

Great place to build a career. There are strong opportunities for internal movement and development, and leadership genuinely seems to care about employees and the culture. The benefits are excellent, particularly the retirement and 401(k) programs. Like any publicly traded company, there is a focus on performance, accountability, and delivering results, so if you’ve worked in an environment that reports earnings and manages to shareholder expectations, you’ll find the pace and expectations familiar. Overall, a purpose-driven organization with meaningful work and good people.

Cons

- company in transition -communication noise
