Pros

Over the years I really enjoyed working at PSE in the IT department. I met so many great folks both in IT and in the business. My closest friends and colleagues I met at PSE. Historically the culture has been great and we celebrated the great work the employees have done, there were clear goals, and we rallied together to get the work done, we had each others back, and this made PSE a "great place to work"

Cons

As a top level individual contributor I found it difficult to navigate the lot of levels of management and bureaucracy. As a result work completed was often not brought to fruition and became wasted efforts. Top level executives started getting in the weeds of day to day operations and making decisions they are not equipped to make. Employees are asked to do more with less because the company started doing layoffs and outsourcing at the same time, while also trying to complete competing projects with unclear or unrealistic deadlines or goals. Overburdened employees make mistakes and upper leadership call them out in a public forum and use scare tactics to say that "human error will not be tolerated" and "there will be consequences"

Pros

Good pto and benefits Easy to move around the company internally Job security

Cons

The leadership at PSE is awful. Some departments are dysfunctional and out of touch. There's also some senior members of staff who contribute nothing, get paid, then leave. Tight budget forecasting. You get paid less than other companies in PNW.

Pros

The employees are great people overall, kind and hardworking, and genuinely care about keeping the lights on for customers.

Cons

Senior leadership of late has been confused, incompetent, and more invested in propping up the commercial real estate values in their investment portfolios than supporting our company values. Work conditions have gotten worse over the past few years, with layoffs and multiple employees suffering from stress-related illnesses due to chronic understaffing.
