Pros

Before the massive layoffs, flexible schedules, nice annual bonus, pension, employees got a 25% reduction on electricity bills which in sunny SoCal is a nice little gift that keeps on giving. Plenty of nice folks who work smart and hard so no real complaints

Cons

Massive layoffs. Politics. An example of their sometime Stepford-like culture: fairly cush, well-paying jobs means plenty of folks never leave, get paid well, don't do much, and whenever in group settings state their name and years with the company (e.g. Bob Harris, 27 years) which leads to fawning adulation when someone has a big number (41 years with the company!!!! - swoon....) which of course also means if you're a relatively new employee and have to preface any comment, question, or suggestion by saying "George, 2 years), dismissive chuckles, condescending tones, and insincere consideration will likely follow. Edison, we get it, you're a really successful old company but selling electricity to millions of customers who live in a desert and operating in a monopoly can lead you to believe you're running a well-oiled machine.

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.
