Pros

family oriented. Allow you to maintain a good balance of work and life.

Cons

incompetent management hire and promote incompetent people. Too much reliance on contractors. The contractors are taking over slowly and gradually. After contractors has been around more than 3 years, the productivity of the contractor also goes down the hill.

Pros

Pros High talent density. You work with genuinely smart, capable people, and it raises your standards fast. Strong learning environment. You’re constantly exposed to complex problems, real constraints, and high expectations. Meaningful mission. The work has real-world impact, and it changes how you see the grid and infrastructure around you. Professional culture. Clear expectations, accountability, and a serious “bring your A-game” environment. Solid benefits. Competitive overall package, plus an employee utility discount that’s a nice perk. Resume value. SCE experience carries weight, and the company is difficult to get into for a reason. Opportunities to take on big responsibilities. In my case, the work often matched senior project-management level scope, regardless of title.

Cons

Cons Manager quality can vary a lot, and your day-to-day experience can hinge on where you land. The culture can feel unforgiving at times...one mistake can overshadow a long track record of strong work if leadership isn’t coach-forward. Large-company bureaucracy. Decision-making can be slow and process-heavy. Leadership direction can sometimes feel disconnected from employee/customer reality, especially around affordability and long-term system decisions. Re-entry can be difficult once you leave; “boomerang” paths aren’t always clear or realistic.
