Pros
Great pay and benefits with educational reimbursement and 401k match. Encourages work life balance and ergonomics. Travel reimbursement is helpful.
Cons
Tenure is valued over actual understanding of work to be completed. Nepotism is rampant and because of this one must be careful who one aligns themselves with. IT is NOT the place to be right now. MBA's are dime a dozen and are a management necessity though 90% of people with them don't have and management skills whatsoever. SCE requires continuous improvement through education but stifles your use of learned skills. Management is completely "out of the loop" when it comes to who know how to do what. Hostile project work environments because of unrealistic deadlines and management incompetence.
