Pros

The San Diego climate can't be beat. Also, the casual atmosphere, tons of opportunity, very smart people to work with and learn from. The company has high expectations of its employees, so you'd better have high expectations for yourself. They have a generous vacation policy which starts at 3 weeks a year and ramps up to 5 weeks, albeit it take 15 years to get to that level. Benefits are great as well.

Cons

Schedule pressures are constant, seems like it's always crunch time.

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Great company to work that is cash flow positive, thinks long-term, cares about people. Lots of autonomy

Cons

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
