They have a decent benefits package and a reasonable time off policy by American standards.
The entire organization is unable to execute.
Getting simple resources, like a server, are next to impossible, even on critical projects.
You are buried in "required" training that does nothing to benefit the organization or your career.
Lots of hubris throughout the organization.
They talk about developing a center of excellence, but they are far from achieving any of that.
The environment and the talent attracted to it are not the best and the brightest.
Lots of customer commitments have been made for products the organization does not have the ability to deliver on.
Smart Grid is about software, but your organization is set up for making big machines such as gas turbines. You need to either be willing to:
- Set up your organization with a clean slate, with a culture and appropriate processes.
- Buy a company that actually has the ability to do this.
- Get out of the smart grid business.
