Pros
If you had the right Manager (which I did) you were trusted to get your work done without any micromanagement, and could work at home during bad weather or if you needed a place to work in quiet, outside the noisy cube farm. Benefits are very good.
Cons
This place is S L O W. People are promoted for having been there for 35 years and going with the flow. We were all told that success is 15% what you know and how you do your job, and 85% attitude. Who would disagree that a positive, can-do attitude is important, but this proclamation was made solely so the sluggish yes man seat warmers with decades of service could continue to get good reviews, while the rest of us did the work. As the old joke goes: How many people work at NU? (former name of Eversource was Northeast Utilities) Answer: About half of them. A clear overstatement. If you are smart, stay away as you will get dumbed down, and lose your marketable skills. For example, they actually defend using Lotus Notes! Some of us were BORN after that old clunky email program was developed. Projects are started and routinely never finished. Approved budgets evaporate, and vendors are routinely called off assignments at the last minute. If you didn't come from NSTAR you aren't golden. But the Chief Customer Officer travels to conference after conference across the country while we buy our own supplies at Staples. Work here as a last resort if you have no other way to pay your mortgage and feed your kids!
