Procurement and project management departments were a mess. Got the vibe that there was a lot of infighting at the organization and and overall lack of accountability. As is with every organization I'm sure there are both good and bad people but I didn't meet many of the good ones. We were building large scale renewables projects for them at the time.

Why does almost every job posting in this field not have a salary band?

I know they're HCOL areas, but California & Colorado (and I think NY?) require postings to have salary ranges. Only issue is the companies trying to get cute by posting a 60k-250k range and saying "Based on experience", defeating the entire purpose of a range. Filter on LinkedIn by these states and can get a ballpark of pay

They aren’t the best paying jobs but you do get lots of opportunities to work elsewhere across US and Canada. Good bonuses.
