Pluspunten

- Solid pay and benefits - Dedicated and intelligent peers - You'll feel critically vital to the success of Calpine (until they say you aren't)

Minpunten

- Every day is stressful. I like a dynamic environment but I never knew if/when I was going to be considered hero or a zero based solely on the shifting sentiments of those above me. - It is a 24/7 job. You will wake up and check your email before getting out of bed, you'll check your email before going to bed, and you'll check it all day long. You have to because you will go from Hero to Zero if you miss anything - Frequent, small layoffs which are typically based on politics. - The review process is a joke. - Real promotions are rare. Sometimes people get shuffled but rarely does that cross organizational boundaries. In other words, career growth is limited.

Pluspunten

- Hybrid schedule (3 days in office, 2 days remote) with a generally low-stress environment and good work-life balance. - Stable work environment with predictable expectations and manageable day-to-day responsibilities (specific to my team/manager) - Free catered breakfast on in-office days and a well-stocked kitchen. - Competitive annual bonus program, including prorated eligibility for employees who join mid-year. - My manager lets employees manage their workload without excessive oversight. Management experience may vary across teams.

Minpunten

- Lack of team culture and camaraderie. Interactions are only work-focused, with little to none team-building or company-wide events. - Compensation is below industry standards for similar roles. - Limited opportunities for career growth, skill development, and innovation. New projects are infrequent, and work can become repetitive and mundane over time. - The Business/Data Analyst role is heavily focused on QA/testing and may not align with expectations of a traditional analyst position. - Workload is highly inconsistent, ranging from very light some days/weeks to exceptionally heavy. - Many IT roles are contract-to-hire, with full-time conversion timelines that can extend well beyond expectations and lack clear communication. - Employee feedback/criticism is not well received by upper management.
