Pros

Decent pay and benefits package. Excellent support staffs Located in San Diego

Cons

Long working hours. Pathetic middle management up to VP. Lack of innovation. Corporate bully exists at all levels A lot of people are purely resting and vesting, no doing much. Too many meetings, a lot of people doing to talking and very few people doing the walking. IT dept is cheap, refuse to upgrade machines even when they are ancient
