Southern California Edison Reviews

Cons

There are some cultural pockets of complacence; but this can be avoided if you stay focused on the importance of the work. Employees often seek promotions through interviewing for new jobs within the company, since in-line promotions are all too infrequent.

Cons

seems difficult/unlikely to be promoted to management positions

Cons

Asking for help more than once when stuck on a problem is almost frowned upon by some. Daily work can sometimes be a lot and can get stressful for a new employees. There are "clicks" in which favoritism plays a large role specially with upper management. Some training are to "high level", but it would be better if more examples where provided as to how and why we do things. Work/Life balance depends on you mostly, but what are you supposed to do when you have a lot of work and a lot of deadlines? Life, work balance can be tough depending on how much help you get or ask for (hmm), how long you've been in a group and how hard you work.

Cons

Still room for improvement to make work more efficient. Company still transitioning between the "old ways" and current way of doing things. Some groups are not as flexible with their employees vs. other groups.

Cons

Most organizations are overworked, and therefore, many work long hours or take their work home with them. Depending on the organization, your work-life balance can be completely exhausting.

Cons

Not supportive working culture. Organizations are not working together as a team.

Cons

There are no Cons

Cons

Everyone is related to each other.

Cons

IT development is run by Infosys and TCS and they’ve entirely taken over operations. In 2015 SCE let go over 300 full time people and replaced them with Infosys and TCS, offshore companies. Since then IT’s budget has tripled and the quality of work done primarily by people in India has been severely lacking in quality while at the same time skyrocketing in costs.
Two reorgs have enabled incompetent managers that have been there for life and essentially taken control away from the few people like myself in Enterprise Architecture that actually know what they’re doing.
I chose to leave before even having a new job because the toll it was taking on me severely impacted the quality of life and it pained me to see the wasteful practices of over spending and incompetence.
If you value your career then this is not the place for you!

Cons

Typical corporate environment which can be frustrating to some.
