Pros

Free Lunch on my BMO card and Free PTO if you do well taking on-call work.

Cons

Very Top heaven in upper management. Sr VP, VP, SR Director, Director x 5, SR managers, Manager, Sr Tech, … then micro management is passed up. Awful culture and want to look for a new opportunity. Plus Xcel has a “Run to Fail” maintenance strategy and has me worried about its future.

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
