Pros
Good pay and bonus, relax work environment
Kontras
Management - Very poor management, specially starting from Manager up to EVP. Every 4 to 6 months senior management changes from one group to another. No long term planning. When some losses occurred, senior management normally end up lay-off some people and within 3 to 4 months, new hiring starts again. Whatever decided one year, that completely changes to the next year. Too relax for some people, nobody cares when an employee comes to the office and leave. PMs don't care about the project cost because there is no monitoring from the senior management. Senior management (EVP/VP/Director) do not have any idea about the work done by his team, they are busy with meetings and pleasing with their bosses (too much politics). Core group vs outsiders - There are core groups who start their career at ENMAX and normally end at ENMAX. Whatever happens, these people never get laid off. Some of them are good but most of them are lazy and not qualified. But since they know their job is secured, they don't want to improve their skills. The decision making power normally stays on this group. The outsiders are always on pressure. When the company is at a financial loss, normally these people get laid off. When lay off happens, normally Managers choose the people based on their personal relations, not based on the performance. - Wrong people at wrong places. Due to frequent shuffle of leaders, normally it ends up wrong people at the wrong place. -Union workers get too much salary and benefits, but they work very less because their job is secured. Managers scared to take any action against the union workers and normally they don't get any support from the senior management. I've seen all these symptoms in my long career, most of those cases, the company was sold. ENMAX is heading that way.
