Great public enterprise - Energy Analyst CPS Energy Employee Review

- Close culture - Laid back management - Hands-on Experience - Classroom to IRL Application - Had my own desk

- Pay was ok at 17.00

Most people and the culture is laid back. Great sense of community at the broader company level.

Manager was an extreme micro manager, every single day. Training was horrible. Cultural and linguistic barrier made it impossible to connect with the manager. Expectation was to be “an individual thinker” but when trying to innovate with Python etc. received major pushback. Was a brand new analyst and was expected to perform and be as knowledgeable as the senior analysts. Pay was bad too. I literally left to another firm immediately making twice what I was making at CPS. Holiday bonus was a $100 gift card to HEB. No 401K match when I was there.
