Pros

Cool products and people. Location, location, location.

Cons

It's going the way of the dinosaur. This division is lead by uninspired and uninspiring people. Innovation and change are demanded of the employees, but when it comes time to implement those ideas there's no support from management. It's an insurmountable bureaucratic mess. All the manufacturing has moved out of San Diego to cheaper locations. Could totally see the remaining engineering and management structure get relocated adjacent to the manufacturing sites within the next 5-10 years and completely exit San Diego area.

Pros

40 hr/wk Easy work for the pay Ability to use vacation with little notice Some leadership is willing to help you move up and increase pay quickly

Cons

Leadership does not communicate with one another Little room to move up or into another department without someone leaving Poor standards in comparison to other sites within the company Employees who do not meet efficiency standards receive no consequences and are not informed of process issues (leadership issue) Tribal knowledge seems to run the site, not standard work It is a family affair.
