Users say... "My department has a particularly bad manager who fosters a toxic office environment." "Management heavy not real in touch with low level workers." "Impossible to get your salary up without moving around but again, moving around is nearly impossible also." "Strong Favoritism by Executive/Senior Management" "Few opportunities for advancement outside of engineering field; people stay here forever so stagnant environment (same old players = old ideas); longtimers hog top positions; seems to be a good ole' boy club at the top; the pay is supposedly so small because the benefits are so good; not a lot of young people at Austin Energy; the environment (and most of the people) isn't 'cool' or cutting edge – some dress like they are receiving welfare; you have to be extra conscious of public image because the funding comes from the citizens of Austin; there are some questionable people in leadership roles – it leads you to think that they were promoted because they brown nosed one important person, not because they were the best person for the job; the city doesn't like to fire people, so incompetent employees usually just get transferred (often leading to a better job) and bad managers are hardly ever demoted"
