Micro Managing at all levels.

Project/Program Coordinator (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 28 June 2018

This company does not focus on work safety. Micro managing starts at the top and trickles all the way down. Work / life balance is only something that is put into words but not play.

Regulatory Maturity trending high

Program & Projects Management (Current Employee) – Calgary, AB – 3 December 2017

Maturity trending high, AER executives want to do the right things. The strategy is clear and communicated, emphasis on execution is great. Need to improve the culture of feedback as there is a chronic level of triangulation and back talking which can become toxic and unhealthy.

Pros

Highly skilled resources

Cons

culture of back talking

Good Organisation

Typical Govt. Culture

Culture And Leadership challenges

Business Analyst (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 6 January 2016

The AER is a smart, fast, dynamic company that is making great strides in energy regulation. The work the company produces is top notch but the challenge with the AER is the culture and leadership.

The philosophy at the AER is to create a group culture with full participation, equality and collaboration. This is an excellent idea. What occurs in practice is unfortunately far from that. The leadership styles displayed at the AER are top down, directional, constrictive, not positive, blame based and confining.

Despite a great many number of talented, and exciting coworkers the leaders, managers and higher ups make working for the AER stifling.

Pros

Flex days and work life balance

Cons

Leadership and Culture

Day to Day business at the Alberta Energy Regulator

Business Analyst (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 17 August 2015

Working for the Alberta Energy Regulator, every day is different. Core business day to day functions change constantly with new and exciting projects/issues/software's etc.. All employees work as teams to collaborate ideas and put forth their best to create the best we can of whatever is the piece of work being worked on at that time.

I enjoy working with all aspects of the business and learning different core functions.

Long over time hours
