Pros

This is a mission-driven company doing meaningful work, and I’m genuinely proud to be part of it. The purpose is real, and it’s matched by strong pay and benefits that reflect the value of the work. The organization is in a transformative phase—shifting from legacy “this is how we’ve always done it” thinking to operating like a modern, results-oriented business. There’s strong leadership focus on driving outcomes with purpose, moving quickly, and collaborating across teams. I feel supported, challenged, and trusted to contribute in ways that matter, and I can clearly see the impact of the work every day.

Cons

As the company continues to transform, strengthening accountability for lower performance would further reinforce the culture we’re building.

Pros

The benefits at PGE are wonderful. 401k Match, a healthy amount of PTO, health support, and the pay is top notch.

Cons

There is a toxic culture being spread in Human Resources right now. There is a lack of fairness and trust being displayed by senior leadership. Most don't feel trusted to do their jobs as they constantly feel watched and monitored. There is a view of favoritism happening and it's noticed by many, observing the lack of flexibility around work life balance, hours and child/elder care responsibilities. There are many out on a leave of absence due to these stressors affecting people who were once healthy excited workers. You can see on their faces how people's health is taking a toll. SLT talks about how your mental and physical health is important, but it feels more like a liability. And in the end, there are overall feelings of if you leave, it's totally okay because they'll just replace you with someone they know. And they don't seem to care.
