Pros

None. Maybe competitive pay. Benefits depend on your job. Greedily, they have a class of employee there which doesn't get to share in the yearly bonus. The bonus is called ICP, where folks can get tens of thousands of dollars or even hundreds depending on your position. If you aren't the right kind of employee, too bad so sad. You don't matter, and don't get a bonus for your hard work.

Cons

Sempra tries to scam the review system by having multiple glass-door listings for different divisions. Even more scummy, they ask brand new employees on their first week to put good ratings. That is the reason you see so many high marks. Those people reviewing haven't even really worked at the place. Sempra is completely incompetent, reorgs pull the rug out from under everyone and assign new bosses who are afraid of their own employees and will do anything to sandbag them as to not look bad. They ignore the suggestions given to them or present them as their own. They play favorites. They don't reward hard work, dedication, and performance. They protect incompetent folk who don't do their own job. When you try to cover for the team, you aren't recognized. When you go to HR they are not there to protect you, the employee. They are there to enable managers to do anything no matter how scummy, as long as it doesn't break the law. Do not think HR is your friend or there to protect you. They absolutely are not. They put reps there that couldn't give a flying about the things being done to you. Do yourself a favor, find another company to work for. In my tenure there: 1. I was physically assaulted multiple times in front of other employees and nobody said anything or backed me up to HR. 2. I was verbally threatened by a team member, who got promoted. I did not initiate any of these encounters. I was afraid to report the above because I felt it would affect my employment status. I am not sure of the statute of limitations but this company deserves to be sued. They had me working many hours past regular shift, and manager was not careful to spread the load to prevent burnout and allow workers to have work/life balance. When manager was informed by vacation takers they wouldn't be available, lazy manager left it up to the employees to work it out. Someone always got stiffed working long hours because manager wouldn't do their job. Manager completely brain dead and lacked basic logic skills. When presented with information that indicated a situation, manager backed up people who weren't involved or didn't know the whole picture. When presented with further information, manager doubled down on stupid and still rejected. Only after a 3rd attempt at providing even MORE information, which by now was overwhelming, did manager realize the initial case was true all along. Manager never acknowledged all the hard work done. They have some smart people in the senior management (executives) but some are just god-awful, and completely abusive to employees.

Pros

Relatively competitive pay, good resources to learn, good people.

Cons

Was hired on as hybrid 2 days onsite, and now employees are being made to come in physically 3 days for no true work reason other than “just because”. Extremely disappointing that they were being disingenuous throughout the advertising, interview and hiring process about the hybrid aspect. I would expect them to take it even further in the near future since they so casually decided for everyone without discussion. In short, if your position is being presented as certain amount of days from home, be warned that we were all told one day more than what we got.
