Pros

SCE pays well, has great benefits and the employees, in my experience, were generally warm and welcoming. During my 7 years there (still technically on payroll, but only until June 19), I had the opportunity to stretch my skills in internal communications, and learn a whole new function in cybersecurity awareness. The last two years were probably my favorite as I thoroughly enjoyed my clients in Cyber and my IT Communications team.

Cons

Due to the constant reduction-in-force effort, known as OpX (or, ChopX to us ex-SCE'ers), the company culture is much different. The cuts have been going on for almost four years now, with no real let up in sight, which is causing morale and productivity problems across the board. No one feels safe for any real length of time, so the rumor mill is in perpetual overdrive. Although I had the opportunity to work with a good group of people, I had friends in other departments, mainly Corp Comm and Marketing, who spoke of incredibly toxic environments.

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

Great company to work for in terms of mission, workplace, people, and pay & benefits. Lots of opportunities to grow & learn new things in different areas because of the size of the company.

Cons

Sometimes slow momentum of an enterprise company, but things are getting better.
