Pros

Teams work well together within their respective departments

Cons

Coordination between different departments is difficult and at times nearly impossible. Leadership passes one-size/scope initiatives that do not work for all departments, which creates more work and complications.

Stability, salary is competitive and bonus can be good

The decision to go to solar and wind only (carbon free) by 2050 is a horrible idea for both the company and the customers who ultimately have to pay for this!
