Pros

Great manager, challenging, location (southern CA), good bonus. Input is valued and solicited by management, no issues with speaking your mind.

Cons

Medical insurance is designed for healthy singles person. 6K in network, 6K out of network deductible - seems doctors are in network and labs / surgery centers are out of network. Long hours, worked holidays, which leads to burn out.
