Pros

Favorable compensation & benefits package! Lots of; - Nepotism, if you have the right last name one can be mediocre or downright stupid and still climb the corporate ladder. A total idiot getting a Sr. PM position thanks to Daddy?? HR is often referred to as "DSR" (Daughters, Sons & Relatives). - Philandering at high levels of the company, seems to be quite a history of this behavior. - Back stabbing, watching an M3 take out her competition one-by-one with unadulterated LIES was extremely disappointing! This individual was recently promoted. - Taking credit for others' work, a common problem in T&D. Be careful who you share your ideas with!! - Side hustle, this place is GREAT if you have another job/money making past-time! Some people actually work however, there are a number of individuals that really do NOTHING! If Edison wants to really save a lot of $, quit being a Charity and show the door to the Deadwood!

Cons

Integrity - Is severely lacking on the part of Leadership. Why have ethics training and certification when you don't walk the talk???? Hiring practices for a number of Organizations is highly suspect. They pick who they want to pursue and they jack/jig the process to ensure they get their candidate. If their candidate misses the HR evaluation cut, they'll cancel and repost. So much for fairness. If you want a career, Edison is a good place to get some experience on your resume, then leave! If you're looking for a paycheck, there's lots of places to settle in and ride through to retirement.

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.
