Pros
- The love is real: Power genuinely cares about its employees, and that care takes many forms: good pay, good benefits, strong support for diverse groups/initiatives, lots of percs/functions, etc.
- Career mobility: once you're in the door, if you're willing to work hard, you have real opportunities to learn new skills and maximize your earning potential.
- Build-don't-buy: we're always working on building new, usable tech instead of buying the latest products. As a result, in a tech role, you have the opportunity to work on interesting problems that are usually solved by other software companies' products; as a non-tech employee, you'll get a consistent user/working experience that won't be changed unless it's in your best interest.
Cons
- It's a sales company, so there aren't many observed holidays other than a few required federal holidays. Generous PTO to make up for it, but you will use it... or lose it (no buy-back options either).
- Build-don't-buy: sometimes the tech tools you must use are less performant than industry standard products, because they're built in-house rather than bought.
