Vantaggi

- you have a job, some decent benefits and possibly some good coworkers depending on which department you are working in

Svantaggi

- no accountability for groups - not for the young and the talented, once you make a name for yourself, leave to a better place!! - unrealistic expectations from managers to meet deadlines - plenty of micromanagement with people when management does not get what they want - yes man culture, if you do not bring up your own opinion it is better - majority of the team members are stressed and overworked - when there is a cost reduction, expect to not have a job - lots of bureaucracy to get things done and it is a very slow company - the old boys club is alive and well in electric power - for engineers the career growth is limited

Svantaggi

They are enforcing returning to office by any means necessary. They have lost many high-quality producers who have refused to relocate or refuse to come in. Here's the kicker - they are requiring in-person attendance at the Chicago office and there aren't even enough desks for everyone. It would be a literal fire hazard if we all came into the Chicago office at the same time, M-F, during business hours. No one knows how or if they are going to actually enforce this. Cost of gas is insane, Joe doesn't care about the workers. Or the work for that matter. It's obvious this is a soft layoff, they have made a bunch of people quit. Their internal design agency is falling apart, lots of people have quit, not only because of return to office but because of the toxic politics, favoritism, and lack of direction and accountability. Mediocre workers are allowed to keep their jobs ONLY because of their ability to put their bodies in a chair and work in-person. The other relocation option HR gave besides Chicago was Peoria. No one wants to live in Peoria for any reason whatsoever, be for real.
