Pros

Paid is good. Raises are regular.

Cons

Management dosn't know what they are doing. Too many managers. Most people are just working there looking for retirment. Things will go one way for a while and then change to another. Most of the time things keep changing back and forth between two positions. Nothing ever really changes. When you work there it is not a good thing to go against what a manager says. if you do that manager will make your time there really difficult. There is a big production about intergrity but it is only just a production. A lot of shady deals go on there with contractors.

Pros

Great company to work for in terms of mission, workplace, people, and pay & benefits. Lots of opportunities to grow & learn new things in different areas because of the size of the company.

Cons

Sometimes slow momentum of an enterprise company, but things are getting better.

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.
