Pros

NRG is a great place to work, they have well rounded benefits, including fertility and adoption benefits, they take giving back to the community very seriously and support employees in many community events outside of work. There are often opportunities if you raise your hand for more!

Cons

This company is very geographically diverse. It takes effort to build and maintain relationships, but it can be done. It's these relationships that make NRG such a great place to work!!

Pros

The advantages working at NRG were that they have a 401K plan (on which they offer a match), HSA, health insurance plans, and a decent time off period. Leadership listens to the employees and always promote team mentality, cross training and, cross collaboration.

Cons

It really is a good company to work for and in hindsight, should have just stayed there.

Pros

Variety of projects, opportunities to collaborate across teams, and exposure to different areas of the business.

Cons

Frequent leadership turnover creates constant shifts in priorities and makes it difficult to maintain long-term direction (I had eight different managers over seven years). Annual layoffs, often occurring around January, contribute to ongoing uncertainty and low morale. Many employees perceive the layoffs as happening in smaller rounds, which adds to the sense that job security is unpredictable. The culture can also feel cliquish, and your experience depends heavily on your manager; some teams foster collaboration, while others are more micromanagement-driven and less receptive to differing viewpoints.
