Pros

There are still employees that cares.

Cons

The company is not the same as it once was. All the ceo talks about every quarter is stock price, blaming the employees for the stock price. Then another executive comes on and talks about overspending on O&M. Last year, the company was committed on WFH, with occasional trips to the office for meetings when needed. Then all of a sudden, we are required to go back to the office for "team collaboration ". They said it was what the employees wanted, but in actuality it was based on a study that Xcel didn't even do. They got it from somewhere else. Afterwards, offering voluntary retirement and layoffing employees just to meet their stock price. There are many companies out there that would rather deal with the hardships to keep their employees. This CEO and his team has got to go.

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
