      Pros

      Willing to change, never stagnet. You are always working with the newest technology, The business is always early to adopt new technology. Working with mostly intelligent successful people. Power of size, there are always inititives for health, education, etc.

      Cons

      Always working to metrics, sometimes losing commonsense. Good work can be overlooked, you can get lost in the shuffle. You always have to actively sell yourself. My managers have shown a tendency to overreact to issues. Any action, even if not productive is preferred to taking time to understand an issue prior to forming a plan. Poor follow through on inititives result as directions are constantly changing.

      Pros

      This company provides challenging work, the opportunity to work with talented colleagues, and the power industry is a great one to be involved in with much growth potential in the future. The design side of this company is a great place to develop oneself as an engineer. Naturally in such a large corporation, the benefits package is excellent.

      Cons

      There are limited promotion opportunities within the company. There is a recent "technical career path," but it has yet to be vetted, and the consensus has always been that management is the only way to make any money. Compensation (salary) is also below average in general compared to other companies. The rating system can cause a great amount of frustration for design engineers as your raises are based on your performance vs your peers. You have the option of working in a challenging environment and being punished by having mediocre raises, or excelling at a boring job.
