Pros

- Great benefits in good times (Pension, 401K). However, during rough times they just cancel everything except Pension - Mobility (company allows you to switch careers and try you projects) - Good pay but no bonus.

Cons

- It only takes one bad manager that doesn't like you to end your career - Merit based system for performance reviews are the worse. You can be a great employee but your boss will always find a negative comment even if it is the slightest mistake you made that had not economic or operational impact - No promotions. You can be in the same job for your whole career and never get promoted or title change. There is no vision and their meritocracy system does not work - Toxic work environment - Some coworkers who are better known by upper management will always take all the credit for your work - The CEO has no vision. Doesn't really like his employees. Makes comments all the time like "if you don't like it here you can leave". There is no leadership. - Management is stuck in old ways. No desire to look into renewable energy projects. - You can get transfer to the middle of no where with no guidance on how long that assignment can take

Pros

Good opportunities for networking and travel.

Cons

A significant HR issue between interns occurred during my internship and was handled very poorly. Once the matter came to HR’s and leadership’s attention, it was not officially resolved until months after the internship had ended. The VP privately apologized for the situation, but the overall response was inadequate and felt as though the situation was being swept under the rug. The lack of timely communication and follow-up created a very uncomfortable environment for a young intern and significantly impacted what was otherwise a positive internship experience.
