Pros

You'll get paid every two weeks until the "intellects vast, cool and unsympathetic" running the place decide they can outsource you. They just hired a Power Production division manager that in three month has NEVER visited a single PPD site but DID hire Bain Capital his first week on the job.

Cons

SCE is on the glidepath to death. It's an electrical utility company that is run by bankers, makes less than 5% of its own power, and has run off maybe 70% of it's trained technical workforce. Apparently they think they can continue to get paid for wheeling in the most expensive power they can find indefinitely. I can't wait for the Feds or the State of California to "nationalize" them, but since so many of the folks in office are too technically clueless to understand the importance of the electrical system mebbe not.

Opportunity work at a company that provides a public service. Be part of a culture learning how to innovate.

Decisions tend to be made by influence over expertise. Too many re-orgs.
