Pros

Beautiful city San Diego. Free sodas. Multiple gyms and cafeterias. Corporate R&D used to have a lot of smart people back in the day.

Cons

Corrupt and incompetent management at all levels from director all the way up to EVP and CEO. VPs looking out for their friends during the review process. HR seems to be hand in glove with VPs in helping out his or her friends. All interns seem to be family and friends of the VP or sr. dir.
