Pros

The job pays well, at least my position does. Could be worse, I guess.

Cons

Lots of nepotism and favoritism, if you are liked, you will get hired and promoted in no time even if you have no idea what you are doing. Lots of people get passed for promotion because they just do their job and don’t go to happy hour or socialize all the time. Horrible management team, lots of people who have no management experience and protect their friends from consequences. Work load is distributed similarly, if you are liked, you get less work. Some people get to work from home full time and others only get 2 days WFH. It really depends on your manager and if they like you. I would not recommend working there unless you like working in chaos with no structure or well defined process. Everyone just does what they want and refuse to learn a new process because they are dinosaurs and lazy.

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.
