Pros

-Cutting edge technology. -Fast paced work environment. -There is an incredible group of manufacturing staff in the Carlsbad office. -As an engineer, you wear a lot of different hats. -Good place to work for new grad engineers.

Cons

-Crippling pressure to get things right the first time. No tolerance or understanding when mistakes are made even when they are trivial and can be resolved. -The work can become a little stale and monotonous. -VERY steep learning curve.

Pros

Great people Good work-life balance, on the production team at least Fairly competitive pay structure for advanced roles if compared with companies in the valley Reasonable performance expectations

Cons

Boneheaded senior management. Director level and below are down to earth and capable of executing, but senior management all brought in from other companies in the last year or two are determined to fail while having feel-good company-wide chats about inclusion instead of building a realistic roadmap. Pay is also very much NOT competitive for labor employees, or for advanced roles when compared with any company just 20 miles east or south.
