LADWP Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I worked as a Student Engineer at LADWP. It's a great company that takes care of its employees. My colleagues and supervisor were very helpful and friendly. There are opportunities for growth. One downside is it takes time to get something done because of the bureaucracy."

"If you're looking for challenging and engaging work environment, LADWP may not be for you. As most government bodies, LADWP is hindered by bureaucratic hurdles that make getting work done difficult and nepotism is definitely present."

"Mostly paper-pushing, strong hierarchy, under utilizes staff abilities, little to no engineering/technical work, outdated IT and data management/sharing, overemphasis on office and local politics, strict adherence to the definitions of the roles of your job, slow pace of work Advice to Management: Don't concern yourself as much with politics. Deliver efficiency with transparency. Stop hiring people and stop being so focused on your hierarchy. Improve communication within divisions - who has what strengths? Who has the right answer? Where is that written down!?! You don't really need engineers anymore, you contract everything out anyway."
