Pros

People are nice, relatively good pay for work. they don't insist you take your work home with you (at an entry level) so there is relatively low stress after leaving work. Offer a lot of programs to help continue eduation (my plan). I want to go back to school for phd in environmental economics and resource allocation, so not a bad place to start to get good overall background of the industry. they are very supportive of this

Cons

feels a bit stagnant at times and takes a while for anything to get moving. it is the nature of big companies. It feels a little intimidating because some of the older employees are disheartened by the company for one reason or another. They often claim that promotions are not based on quality of work but how much you kiss up to your boss. I haven't seen this yet, but only been here two months. They are not very casual either- dress code pretty strict so if you are used to wearing jeans to work (ie start ups) probably will take a while to become accostomed to chage.

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.
