Pros

Reasonable pay. Good for people with self-initiative or ambition to grow as there are lots of open positions over time. Impactful work to customers who depend on gas and electricity.

Cons

The stock price is top priority so everything else is secondary. Top-down decision-making where C-suite "knows best" and there is no accountability or discussion with employees, only to stock owners/price. It feels like we're robots to make money for the CEO. Each person is responsible for their own burnout and work loading. It all comes down to individual choice because no one else will help you with this.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
