Pros

It's a large, stable company that will be around for a long time and there some really great people that work here. Since the company is so large, there are numerous groups and opportunities to explore, although it is not always easy. The opportunity is there.

Cons

Layers and layers of management. It is sometimes difficult to get clear direction or direct approval. They also like to rotate managers so it's a challenge to when it comes to project management continuity. Overall a bureaucratic culture but that is probably not a surprise for a company of this size.

Best place I ever worked

Pros

Lots of autonomy to do what was needed. Pays well but not brilliantly, but they make you feel valued in other ways. Some really smart and well informed people in management and projects Big plus - the company has embraced a culture of ethics, though full transparency is maybe a little further away. Genuine collaborative and consensus building environment , but see mote under cons about the limitations of this

Cons

Too many meetings - sometimes I felt that we were having meetings just to discuss what would be discussed at the next meeting. Limited upward mobility Consensus driven approach sometimes felt like everyone from the janitor upwards wanted to be involved in the decision but no one wanted to take the responsibility of making the decision

Good company. Good policies. A bit stodgy.

Pros

Well-run. Professional environment. Lots of opportunity unless you work in a public affairs capacity. Brilliant people work there and there are lots of exciting changes in the energy field. If you like a stable environment, lovely office surroundings, predictable roles and expectations, this place is for you.

Cons

Somewhat stodgy environment. The same people run the company that came up in the utility business so they are not always open to change and the latest trends in engaging employees. The same folks will probably always be there. If you want to feel like you are working for a cutting-edge company, this is not the place for you.
