Vantaggi
SCE pays well, has great benefits and the employees, in my experience, were generally warm and welcoming. During my 7 years there (still technically on payroll, but only until June 19), I had the opportunity to stretch my skills in internal communications, and learn a whole new function in cybersecurity awareness. The last two years were probably my favorite as I thoroughly enjoyed my clients in Cyber and my IT Communications team.
Svantaggi
Due to the constant reduction-in-force effort, known as OpX (or, ChopX to us ex-SCE'ers), the company culture is much different. The cuts have been going on for almost four years now, with no real let up in sight, which is causing morale and productivity problems across the board. No one feels safe for any real length of time, so the rumor mill is in perpetual overdrive. Although I had the opportunity to work with a good group of people, I had friends in other departments, mainly Corp Comm and Marketing, who spoke of incredibly toxic environments.
