No Longer Family - Anonymous employee Xcel Energy Employee Review

The utility industry is changing and Xcel Energy's executive leadership is running scared. They do not know what they want and as a result they are a thrashing, dysfunctional organization that pits it's employees against one another. It is a bloated and wasteful company where leadership speaks of "bending the cost curve", yet do business like it is 1999. Because the don't have competition to focus on, they eat their own and waste the talents of many top performers in endless turf battles and wars of egotistical supremacy. If you can disengage your brain, your conscience and your ethics, you can likely survive nicely in this environment.
