Pros

It's a stepping stone for further experiencethat can be useful in later positions. Since NRG has several plant in the US market there could be a variarity of oppertunites for a person that will move to differrent locations in the country.

Cons

Management in the remote areas are not supported by senior managment. Senior managment will blame any manager in remote location without any reseason other than it must be the remote managment fault. When a remote location need support and help this is not likely to take place - blame is an easier way for senior managment. This lack of support will generate mistrust amoung remote managment.

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.
