Pros

Job Security, you don't have to travel much. Good work-life balance. Good work mates. There is alot of nepotism among utilities. Meaning that once you worked for one utility it is very easy to go and find a home in another utility. This is a great company to work for if you have a family and you place a high priority on family time.

Cons

It's borring. Things move at a glacial speed. Management is very ego-centric, meaning that they'll ignore most of what underlings have to say. We're definitely not in the leading edge. If you really love technology and where it is going, this is not the place to come.

Pros

SCE offers strong perks, benefits, and opportunities, especially within Field Engineering. There are plenty of chances to learn, grow, and be creative in the role. Leadership and management have generally been supportive, and the pay is solid for the expectations of the position.

Cons

Compensation is good if you perform the core job well, but it may not fully reflect the value of employees who go above and beyond, bring additional technical skills, or create broader impact beyond the standard role expectations.

Pros

Pay, they pay very well. Interesting work and SOME very sharp people.

Cons

The department I was in was very toxic. Company claims to be values based but that is a joke. The "leaders" in my OU were abusive and have been reported to HR multiple times by many people. Nothing was ever done. The entire company isn't toxic, its too bad that some of the areas are.
