Pros

One of the few large companies in San Diego, this is price you have to pay to stay in sunny SD. They pay reasonably well when compared to others in the area. Benefits are ok but not great. Soda machines are $0.25, thats really the only extra you get. Very fast paced, which has a lot of pros and many cons, the pros are that you will never get bored as work is always coming, everyday something new comes up, from the moment you walk in the door in the morning until you leave in the evening you will have something to do and usually running around. (see below for the cons)

Cons

Its a large company with way too many managers and not enough people actually doing the work. A lot of meetings and not enough action. No cafeteria on site or any lunch places walking distance, also the coffee stinks. Because its fast paced you don't really have time to think clearly on things, process improvement is talked about but its really hard to implement with the little free time you have, its hard to get actual work done since you are running at 100 miles an hour in between meetings.

Pros

Great pay and getting OT pay. Awesome team of SMs and RTEs who felt like family and we all wanted to see each other succeed. I was exposed so a lot of situations which strengthened my skill set. Learned the SAFe model and it looks great on resumes. I personally had a great boss, bosses boss, and RTEs.

Cons

Executive leadership is ruining the culture. Many of the amazing Directors, AVPs and RTEs left due to the poor Executive leadership who do NOT know a single thing about Agile principles. Releases are 1x/mo so you have to work one Saturday a month which can sometimes be longer than a normal workday. Release Mgmt team is very difficult to work with and can be very disrespectful. They don’t hide it and it’s accepted. Execs killed remote work.
