Pros

It is good company for new graduates without work experience because this company will assign work to you regardless of your experience so new graduates have the chance to gain valuable experience. It is also good place for people who are preparing their retirement. The benefit and pension plan are good. But they will be changed soon.

Cons

It is a good place for professionals especially for IT professionals. Your promotion or reward is not based on your performance or your knowledge. It is based on who you know and your managerâ??s mode. It is silo organization and communication is vertical. You need to know how to play politics and how to play safe if you want to survive.

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.

Pros

Pros High talent density. You work with genuinely smart, capable people, and it raises your standards fast. Strong learning environment. You’re constantly exposed to complex problems, real constraints, and high expectations. Meaningful mission. The work has real-world impact, and it changes how you see the grid and infrastructure around you. Professional culture. Clear expectations, accountability, and a serious “bring your A-game” environment. Solid benefits. Competitive overall package, plus an employee utility discount that’s a nice perk. Resume value. SCE experience carries weight, and the company is difficult to get into for a reason. Opportunities to take on big responsibilities. In my case, the work often matched senior project-management level scope, regardless of title.

Cons

Cons Manager quality can vary a lot, and your day-to-day experience can hinge on where you land. The culture can feel unforgiving at times...one mistake can overshadow a long track record of strong work if leadership isn’t coach-forward. Large-company bureaucracy. Decision-making can be slow and process-heavy. Leadership direction can sometimes feel disconnected from employee/customer reality, especially around affordability and long-term system decisions. Re-entry can be difficult once you leave; “boomerang” paths aren’t always clear or realistic.
