Pros

Interesting work, overall good people except senior management.

Cons

Terrible CEO who is super focused on bottom line. Changed the flexible working from home to required office days Tuesday-Thursday. Got rid of performance bonuses to focus O&M cuts. Put in a hiring freeze when teams were short staffed. Xcel doesn’t do anything for its employees due to O&M cuts.

Pros

Work-life balance, okay benefits, and cemented impact on the community

Cons

Because the company has a bottom line, promotional paths aren't really a thing beyond individual contributor to manager. I don't know what the next level up would be besides that.
