Pros

Good pay, focus on safety.

Cons

Cronyism, old utility unions, focused on entitlements for long term employees of unions and management. New hires pawns used to protect this sanctity. Unstable work environment with low work ethic. Entremely emotional managers who seem to have missed management 101. Landing zone for ejected PSEG employees. Desparately trying to integrate nuclear programs into antique fossil fuel plants with employees at the threshhold of retirement.

Pros

Opportunity to gain power markets experience. Many different departments, exposure to many different parts of the industry. Acceptable benefits and bonus compensation.

Cons

Expected to perform tasks, upskill in AI programming, or anything to further the interests of the group, outside of stated job responsibilities. Shifted from a 2-day in office work week to 4-day in office work week, with inconsistent expectations from all levels of management. Lackluster resources for data science, in comparison to industry peers. Mostly subscription-based resources, not many on-prem resources built correctly. Company's basic infrastructure for finance & accounting used for data science work. Bad network connectivity. Website or services crucial to projects, such as PJM Data Miner 2 are sometimes blocked or non-functional. Non-technical leaders oversee software projects with inflexible or unreasonable expectations.
