Good place to work Great people and very smart people Interesting and challenging projects Decent pay for cost of living San Diego is an amazing city

Long hours Understaffed (in my technology silo, but I know other areas that were overstaffed) Lots of outsourcing overseas, which often results in lower quality work, and inconvenient hours to accommodate collaboration between locations

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
