Pros

Decent benefits and nice exercise facilities.

Cons

90% of the San Diego employees are H1B Visa immigrants that refuse to speak English in the elevators and hallways. Company has laid-off most of the older American's because they were deemed too expensive compared to the sponsored Indians and Chinese. The healthcare benefits used to be awesome, now they have offloaded most of the cost on the employees. I am currently and aggressively looking for other opportunities outside of this company. I wouldn't suggest any naturalized American citizen work here, you will hate it...

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.
