Q&A With Pacific Gas and Electric Employees

Disjointed and slow.

Very slow and it involves a lot of paperwork.

About 10% of the individual contributors supported about 90% of the the work. Management level employees were very political and many were poorly trained and/or not qualified for the positions that they held. There were some very nice people, but the company culture was very negative.

I have a remote work agreement in place to support working from home when necessary. I take advantage of this as much as possible to save over two hours a day in commute. This commute is just from the east Bay Area. Remote working seems inconsistent and may not be generally supported varying by department and job requirements.

Once a year.

Corporate lunches and dinners, but fun sometimes.

Formally twice a year.

Fast

The freedom of working remotely sometimes.

Not difficult. You'll work long hours only on occasion with a rotational on-call.

Put together a well thought out resume and nail the interview.

Those who work hard and don't upset too many people.

Very diverse

My cube was small and dingy. The office layout is old and outdated.

We got a 10% bonus every year.

Depends on the manager. My department was overworked, but most of us were happy to work hard for our Manager.

Good technical experience, but there are a lot of bureaucratic loops.

Answer honestly about what you know and tell them you're willing to you're willing to work hard to learn the material.

One Hour

Fair

Busy

Pressured

Stressful.

Working at PG&E is job for me, not a career. The pay as a contractor is decent. That being said, dys are filled with a lot of unnecessary meetings, redundant paperwork, and politics. It's not a positive or fulfilling environment. The San Francisco office is essentially a cubicle farm. It's fine if all you're looking for is a paycheck.

Their legal team, due to all of the regulatory violations and lawsuits.

The CEO was new, but severe and ill thought out cost cutting initiatives were being implemented to help increase the stock price. Most employees I spoke with had a negative outlook.
