Pros

Benefits, time off, decent salary, reasonable work/life balance.

Cons

The good ole boys club is serious business here. There's a major nepotism issue. If you're part of the CAO's golf/hunt club you're promoted repeatedly (unless you're a woman or person of color). If you report a concern to the compliance hot line, it's not confidential, so people are afraid to speak up. Most of the leaders are egomaniacs, especially the CEO and CAO. I don't know how a utility gets away with it. Its bad.

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
