Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Markham, ON – 18 March 2019
It's a hostile environment. They don't provide you with proper training and there's not enough time to understand everything. There's no flow. Too much favoritism.
Pros
They try to celebrate most holidays
Cons
Strict
good experience in to the transmission/distribution industry
Transmission Reliability Intern (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 27 February 2019
hydro one was a good experience, it is a typical 9-5 job for the most part with 1h hour lunch break and 2 coffee breaks. i learned a lot about the power industry and the transmission and distribution grid of Ontario. Due to the nature of the industry, most of the work has already been laid out and often times you are stuck with doing repetitive work, not always but most of the time. The workplace culture is more of a relaxed vibe, gets the job done but that's about it. the most difficult part of the job was to understand the many departments at Hydro one, each team does different things and it's often difficult for each other to understand why certain things cannot be done a certain way, therefore it sometimes takes extra time to explain things to other departments.

Software Administrator & Data Analyst (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 2 December 2018
Hydro is a great place to work. It allows you to have the perfect work life balance. Hydro is flooded with brilliant minded engineers and staff that are willing to teach if you are willing to learn. For a student, there isn't another place that you can hope to work for and get a better experience.

short but sweet
GIS DATA ANALYST (Former Employee) – Barrie, ON – 17 October 2018
I was brought in to work on a project within the GIS department. The contract was cut short due to funding issues but I could not have asked for a better contract. The office environment was fabulous with everyone being so nice. Initiatives to promote company morale were obvious and fun (raffles for premium parking spots with funds from tickets bought going to charity). Expert training and help from senior staff. Overall wonderful place to work. Sad to be leaving but thankful for the experience.
High paying job with amazing benefits.
Lines apprentice (Current Employee) – Everywhere. – 16 October 2018
You learn a lot from working at Hydro One. It is an amazing job, but there is a lot of traveling that goes along with it, and the traveling does not work for me specifically.
Excellent employee training programs
Community Relations Consultant (Former Employee) – Markham, ON – 13 October 2018

Did not Work for me
Project Manager (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 1 October 2018
Great Pay, and some incredible people and industry, yet so many poor poor poor leaders in charge of innocent and unsuspecting resources. ISD and CSO are the most wasteful and inefficient entities I have ever seen.
Productive and educational workplace
IT SYSTEMS ANALYST (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 12 September 2018
I learned a lot during my internship at Hydro One. Though an intern, I was given many opportunities to delve into various projects and learn new things. From learning about the networks monitoring remote devices to setting up a virtual machine to learning about project management, the workplace culture and the nature of the team I was with truly allowed me to make the most of my time there.
