      NOT a good place for professionals

      information system analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is good company for new graduates without work experience because this company will assign work to you regardless of your experience so new graduates have the chance to gain valuable experience. It is also good place for people who are preparing their retirement. The benefit and pension plan are good. But they will be changed soon.

      Cons

      It is a good place for professionals especially for IT professionals. Your promotion or reward is not based on your performance or your knowledge. It is based on who you know and your managerâ??s mode. It is silo organization and communication is vertical. You need to know how to play politics and how to play safe if you want to survive.

      Energy Efficiency? What a mess!

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      What can I say? For a company that went bankrupt a couple of times due to negligence and incompetence, the rate-payers are paying for it to keep it alive today. It is a stable company, but it is not a company that you can give praise for its culture, management style, and morale. If you are looking for a place to build your career based on performance, this is not the place for you. Here, it is who you know, not what you know. I know for a fact that they at the Energy Efficiency Division will even give you a project manager position regardless that your first and last job was being a spoiled brat, who leeches off his parents, with no educational background or managerial experience to be an analyst, contract manager, and also a project manager in the first place.

      Cons

      Energy Efficiency Division is a mess of new, incompetent managers who will hire based on anyone they like, not based on his/her skill and/or experience level. It is getting more common, as you stay longer and notice what is going on. It is not right for the company to hire people you had intimate relationships with or friends to work in the same department. It is a conflict of interest, deciding that one person over others who are much more qualified and experience to fit the job.

      Understand the schedule before you join up

      Nuclear security officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The schedule can be good or bad but someone needs to post the schedule so people can see it

      Cons

      I was not really told when I took the job how strenous the schedule would be - someone please post the schedule so people will know - 7days off every 5 weeks sounds great but it comes with a price
