Pros

People there get paid a lot for what they do. Not too hard working. If you can handle the politics and you have an ally or champion, you'll be fine. Otherwise, you need to just lay really low and stay in your Cube for the most part volunteer for stuff here and there. Do not be Innovative or disruptive unless they hire you for that. If you're over 45 try to stay there for 10 years because you get some good benefits

Cons

You know what you're getting into heavily regulated environment Compliance driven, not sales driven, slow-paced They've been trying to make changes, but there's a ton of long-timers there. They don't really like outsiders unless they come in at very high levels. There's some good people there but there's a lot of positioning and do mining. Help City have an engineering degree even though they don't use any engineering really. Whatever the California Public Utilities Commission tells them to do, they spend a lot of time trying to comply. The core business is transmission and distribution, which is very Union based. Not very many Highly Educated people there. They talk big on diversity inclusion. There's more females Anglo and Asian near top under 40, no Hispanic females at or near the top. Typically, Private Industry go-getters don't last very long, but it's a good way to learn their business model for a period of time

Pros

Mostly nothing other than just barely providing service

Cons

Customers are sick and in horrendous conditions, payment systems are always down and we can't help them, they end up defaulting on their deposits and forced to pay higher amounts but it's not their fault your billing systems don't work.
