Pros

Company is part of the community infrastructure (for good or for bad). When you work here, you have an opportunity to make a difference in reducing carbon emissions and greenhouse gases.

Cons

The decision making for the layoffs in 2024 and upcoming layoffs in 2025 was questionable. If you did not see eye to eye with your direct manager, resulting in questionable criticisms or low annual review scores, you are a goner, even if you perform at a higher level than your peers. At least in HR, annual goals are tied to projects and secondary tasks, and primary job responsibilities are not given any consideration. The people making the decisions really don't know much about the actual job duties, but are more concerned with not making any waves with the department Director, who is more concerned with budgets than performance.

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.
