Pluspunten

Job Stability, San Diego ( can be good or bad), Good technical work if you are willing to work hard, Benefits

Minpunten

Salary: Was offered lower than some start ups. HR plays hardball and leaves no room for negotiation ended up getting 6k more than originally quoted. You tend to start off with unhappy employees. Bonuses are probably industry's lowest. Team dynamics: Every group has its own kind of politics. Usually it will involve middle management, who does nothing but manage. Most of these people lack technical skills to remain in company, but due to extremely bad review process, they will linger on. Most of the middle management is content to manage up and give more work to people under them. So most of the engineers leave after 2-3 years. Bad talent sticks around.

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

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.
