Pros

You get to work on new technologies. San Diego is a great place to live.

Cons

- No work life balance at all. You are expected to work on weekends/late nights. - Too much office politics, reviews are biased based on personal relationships - Unstable since they are reliant on couple of customers for majority of revenue. - Falling stock, layoffs looming. - Poor benefits, upcoming health insurance with high deductibles.

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.
