Pros
Opportunity to gain power markets experience. Many different departments, exposure to many different parts of the industry. Acceptable benefits and bonus compensation.
Cons
Expected to perform tasks, upskill in AI programming, or anything to further the interests of the group, outside of stated job responsibilities. Shifted from a 2-day in office work week to 4-day in office work week, with inconsistent expectations from all levels of management. Lackluster resources for data science, in comparison to industry peers. Mostly subscription-based resources, not many on-prem resources built correctly. Company's basic infrastructure for finance & accounting used for data science work. Bad network connectivity. Website or services crucial to projects, such as PJM Data Miner 2 are sometimes blocked or non-functional. Non-technical leaders oversee software projects with inflexible or unreasonable expectations.
