Energy - Project Engineer Duke Energy Employee Review

Keep in mind this is in the eyes of an intern but: - employees are friendly and willing to help if asked - lots of learning opportunity - projects in which you can apply what you learned - lenient WFH

- the quality of your project can be dependent on which team you are on and your mentor guiding you

Strong job stability in a regulated utility environment, along with competitive pay and solid benefits package. My immediate team is genuinely supportive and collaborative — we work well together and have each other's backs. The work itself offers a sense of purpose given the essential nature of the industry.

Upper management operates with limited transparency and decisions flow strictly top-down, with little visibility into the reasoning behind strategic choices. The compensation structure does not differentiate for high performers — annual raises tend to land at or below inflation. Work groups across the department are heavily siloed, which limits cross-functional collaboration and slows knowledge sharing and adds frustration.
