Pros

Competitive salaries, medical & retirement benefits, bonus incentive program, flexible work schedule, enterprise class information technology environment

Cons

Corporate greed has destroyed the IT working environment by outsourcing hundreds of positions to India, in a blatant misuse of H-1B visas. Many valuable, experienced, and loyal employees that have worked decades with SCE, helping establish the company to where it is today, were betrayed. Some employees were retained if they were in good terms with the "inner circle" of management that selected individuals to be retained. Many who were retained do not have the experience for their new position or even a college degree. And many of those that were not retained were highly experienced and college educated, but were not part of the "inner circle". The Grid Management System area is currently excluded from outsourcing. Again, some individuals who were in good terms with the "inner circle" were saved in this area. Job postings were listed with the appearance of being open competitive opportunities. But in actuality, the jobs were already intended for those individuals who were selected by the "inner circle".

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.
