Westinghouse – “Great opportunities to broaden experiences and knowledge.”

Pros

Management provides enough guidance without micromanaging. There are always enough experienced engineers to mentor and lead, or just to ask clarifying questions. Company policies encourage technical growth and career promotions.

Cons

Lower-level management gain more from keeping experienced engineers where they are. Some departments are not allowed to hire from other groups, despite ideal personnel and talent levels, leaving some engineers 'stuck' working with lower growth and promotion opportunities.

Advice to Senior Management

WEC has the advantage of employing considerable numbers of former military (Navy) personnel, though junior-level management has not benefitted from the professional leadership training that the Navy provides. Providing Resource Managers with some professional leadership training (akin to NLDP) will significantly increase their group performance.
