Pros

Still good benefits for now, fair compensation, diverse workforce.

Cons

Your experience there will vary wildly depending on what organization and work group you find yourself in. I moved around into different organizations within TVA and the common theme was that middle-upper management was clueless and indifferent to the crumbling state of the agency and front line managers found their cries for help falling on deaf ears. The staffing for critical areas has fallen below sustainable levels and if you are one of those left who can halfway do your job expect to work 60-70 hour work weeks under high stress. There is no attrition planning and most of the knowledge quite literally walked away after the last buyout. In five to ten years TVA will not be able to operate unless they improve staffing and training.

Wonderful company, great culture, they want all young engineers to succeed.
