Pros

Great benefits, fairly competitive pay, 30-40 year career if desired, and incredibly stable company and industry. Love the people and leadership has genuine concern for its employees. Personally, I have had incredible leaders/managers that know how to inspire, encourage, and develop, but this is not cross company.

Cons

For many positions, especially in management level ranks, there is very poor work/life balance and more is always expected with less. Though it seems to be changing over the last few years, there is not enough skills development (e.g., leadership). Much of the time, employees are asked for innovative solutions and challenged to grow and change. Even though it is stated, new ideas are often snuffed by tradition and speaking up, if a leader disagrees, is often remembered and counted against you. Very few opportunities to move up since no one is retiring just yet. Can hit a professional ceiling and then possibly become disengaged.

Pros

Very DEI focused, so would be good if you are a minority or female candidate interested in STEM fields.

Cons

Currently going through layoffs due to shortfalls in budgeting allowed by the state. California has planned for decarbonization of the state, mid to long range outlook not promising. Currently requires 4 days in the office.
