Pros

Excellent compensation and benefits, particularly the 401k and vacation. Pleasant working environment. Downtown Allentown has come a long way in the past few years...

Cons

The leadership team is in the process of taking significant steps - including outsourcing, the consolidation of job responsibilities and the outright layoff of direct employees - to drastically cut costs in order to avoid being taken over, thereby saving their own jobs. The resulting culture of fear is the single biggest con.

Pros

Engineering team is young and open for innovative ideas. Everyone supports and respects each other and willing to help and learn from each other. As a contractor - it is a very smooth and stress-free work experience.

Cons

Might be little bureaucratical when it comes to paperwork & processes but this is a large utility so this is expected or even required. People tend to rotate a lot and it makes it difficult to find support & training but everyone understand it and there is no pressure on workload most of the time allowing you to finish the job without a lot of pressure.
