Pros

Very good medical and dental plan. San Diego is a good place to work.

Cons

1) Managers are technically inept. Especially, there are so many directors and senior directors that you forget count of them. 2)There is a lot of stress on minute issues or the same issue coming up in a different ways. 3) Promotions are based on number of hours put in. No respect for quality of work but stress on quantity of work. This goes back to the point mentioned above. Since mangers are technically not smart, they don't have clue about time taken for a task. 4)No freedom/room to work outside of your assignment. Very poor in terms of inernal group transfers.

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.
