It’s a good company, but not a good company to work for.
Pros
Base pay is solid, bonuses are generous. Benefits are on par with other companies from personal experience. The Mexico planning team is a pleasure to work with, and are very nice people. Opportunities for growth are limited in San Diego, but are plentiful in Houston, TX.
Cons
I’d be remiss if I didn’t warn others of this trap, so here goes… The main shortfalls of the finance group are the technologies and methodologies utilized for reporting out results. Every process is very manual, and are in desperate need of revamp. Simplifying these processes would likely address the extreme lack of work life balance. Expect nights and weekends often with no warning. Similarly in bad shape is company and departmental culture. It’s a “superman” culture where working long hours is glorified, as opposed to using tools to get it done efficiently. “We’re a family.” The US planning team is extremely clicky, petty, and catty. You will be unable to trust your coworkers. There are many people at IS who have been employed by Sempra their entire/majority of their careers, are very set in their ways, and it is a risk. Many folks in management are merely bosses, worlds away from qualities true leaders should possess. They were promoted into leadership roles without any formal training, and/or personality mismatch. Lastly, PTO policy is laughable.
