Pros

When I started during the pandemic, the company was very committed to making everyone feel part of a group. I felt seen and heard by the company. But the benefits are good.

Cons

But in the past 6 months multiple layoffs including hearing "we aren't concerned about attrition" multiple times by executives means they want to trim as much as possible. So much bloat was put into third party consultants to build large scale projects while neglecting what goes into the employees has left the company with bare bones. Then we were told we had to go back to an office that is now partly empty and leaving groups isolated. There is FAR less diversity at the company as most of the people who were pushed out were not part of the traditional core type of person to work at Xcel. And now I just interact with the same person type just in different departments. Everyone seems to be overworked and now it seems that the contractors are in more pressure to prove that their products are worth it.
