Pros

The company offers a good vacation and sick leave policy, which provides some flexibility. The salary is average for the industry—not exceptional, but not under market either.

Cons

The organizational structure of this company is distinctly top-heavy, with an overabundance of senior leadership roles contributing to a lack of agility and direction. Major projects are routinely assigned go-live dates before any formal planning, kickoff meetings, or allocation of technical resources. This backward approach inevitably results in staff working unsustainable hours under intense pressure—only for deadlines to be missed anyway. There is a clear and troubling pattern of disregard for employee well-being and institutional knowledge. Leadership has, time and again, chosen to lay off high-performing, experienced technical staff—only to replace them with overseas contractors in an apparent cost-cutting effort. This short-sighted cycle has repeated itself over the years, each time weakening the company’s capabilities and morale. Despite consistent project failures and turnover, leadership shows little willingness or ability to learn from past mistakes. The overall environment is defined by poor planning, weak communication, and a culture that doesn't value its employees. Joining this company is like boarding the Titanic: it may appear impressive from a distance, but it’s headed toward disaster—and the leadership team is too busy rearranging deck chairs to notice.

Pros

Engineering team is young and open for innovative ideas. Everyone supports and respects each other and willing to help and learn from each other. As a contractor - it is a very smooth and stress-free work experience.

Cons

Might be little bureaucratical when it comes to paperwork & processes but this is a large utility so this is expected or even required. People tend to rotate a lot and it makes it difficult to find support & training but everyone understand it and there is no pressure on workload most of the time allowing you to finish the job without a lot of pressure.
