Pros

Campus in Torrey Pines is really nice (gym, pool, volleyball/basketball courts) Generally laid back environment (good work-life balance) Employees are generally good but highly depends on where you work

Cons

Management tends not to be very good Little, if any, job training Poor job mobility (could be doing exact same job for 10+ years) Constant reorganization

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
