Pacific Gas and Electric – “A big ship trying to navigate the new world

Aug 5, 2009

4.0

Pacific Gas and Electric Anonymous in San Francisco, CA:   (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

Innovation can happen but it's difficult. Lots of recognition if you do a good job or are part of a team that does well. Benefits are reasonable and CAP payment is nice when the company does well rewarding everyone in the company, not just a select few.

Cons

Company is slow to innovate because it's so huge. When it does try it goes overboard and projects fail because they are massive in size instead of doing things in smaller chunks. Safety is important but taken a little overboard and cuts into work/life. Too many "required attendance meetings." Still a very silo-oriented organization despite attempts to remedy it.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't try things in such grand scales, projects never complete or one part that gets delayed has a dramatic cascading effect. Listen to the employees who work instead of high paid consultants.
