      Pros

      It's a large company, so there are good and bad managers. It really depends on who you get. It's a good ol' boys club. If you play golf with the boss, you get a raise! There's a lack of communication and collaboration between teams so expect each team to focus on building their own empire - however, the gross ineptitude of managers to get off their high horses can lead to highly entertaining . Managers with poor management skills aren't given training on budgeting, time-management and employee leadership skills so employee turnover is frequent and employee satisfaction is low.

      Cons

      Good benefits. Good people. Nice office location.

      Pros

      It is very difficult/close to impossible to get fired. You will not be penalized here for proposing new ideas and implementing them given the right forum. The environment is not at all organized and very chaotic, but that can be worked toward your advantage if you know how to properly navigate and are flexible. My department was flexible, and we were not micro-managed. The colleagues are nice for the most part and social events are encouraged here. If you are looking to work in Renewable Energy, this is a great place to start. Your skills can be developed here depending on what you choose to do with your time.

      Cons

      it is very difficult/close to impossible to get fired. This has, in some cases, created an environment where some people with serious work and personal deficiencies act any way they want with confidence with nary a repercussion. The CEO while bright, is out of touch with his management style...I read another review that indicated a new CEO is needed, couldn't agree more. While the company hires people who don't have renewable energy experience, they use this as an excuse to have the overall pay be much lower than industry standards throughout most departments (get a job a Sempra if you can). Raises are minimal, and those who stay typically move into other roles as that is the only way to typically get a viable increase within France's U.S. cottage. Lately it has gotten more political in the stateside office, and this is definitely a "who you know" type of environment when it comes to moving up the ladder....as skill assessment and work achieved are not considered here in terms of your future and where you could move . Learn how to play corn hole at the brewery next door (no hyperbole, you would be wasting your time actually working and achieving work milestones) . While not a bad place to work, EDF North America has managed to become a great temporary non-long term place to work due to these issues.
