NRG Energy Reviews

Pros

Great pay, very nice work environment, smart people, so many benefits, close to malls and other business, cafeteria on first level, free use of bikes, etc.

Cons

Really no cons that I can think

Pros

Benefits, convenient parking, access to Starbucks

Cons

Very hierarchical organization, no executive oversight of smaller departments. No checks and balances where there needs to be.

Pros

The BA team was very active in the local IIBA Chapter and highly encouraged individual professional development.

Cons

At times the lines between the PM & BA teams where blurred. While the IT Management and team Leads were on-site, a large percentage of development was preformed by short-term contractors overseas resulting in very few developers familiar with the evolution of the code base.

Pros

Honestly hard to come up with any.

Cons

Very dysfunctional operations and very confusing for employees and customers. Internal directors and managers have only worked at ECS/NRG and have no understanding of how business operates outside of Buffalo NRG. Buffalo NRG Directors believe that embarrassing people by using collection agency tactics like posting employee performance numbers on large white boards throughout the office is the best way to improve their performance. I was shocked at how much Buffalo NRG management resents progressive, forward thinking and ideas from associates. Associates watch webinars hosted by corporate leadership from Princeton and Houston and wonder when Buffalo will ever feel like we are part of NRG. ECS/NRG Buffalo managements poor business practices erode customer relationships and tarnish NRG’s reputation. There are so many basic business mistakes made on a continuous basis. Proposals are promised to customers only to be halted by management which pushes loyal customers to competitors.
