      Pros

      Competitive salary compared to peers in the industry. Good benefits package. Opportunity to gain experience working in a large utility company.

      Cons

      New C-suite hires were chosen primarily for being pro–Return to Office, otherwise ignored. Company culture has shifted — promises made to employees are not being honored. Promotions are driven by favoritism and networking (“buddy system”) rather than merit. Some managers advanced by “brown-nosing” rather than skill, leaving teams without proper guidance or leadership. Employees who don’t fit the preferred mold often face more scrutiny, while others get a pass.
