Pros

- Great work/life balance - Free drinks at vending machines - Unlimited sick days - Paid medical benefits - Great annual parties/celebrations - Individual offices for most positions - Potential bonus every 6 months

Cons

- Large corporation w/ typical politics/bureaucracy - Some buildings/teams not central and spread across San Diego - Rankings/performance reviews based on upper management deliberation and not end-to-end impact - Reductions in force can go unreported in the media if handled in small numbers...they still happen even though you don't hear that the company is laying off
