      Not a company I'd recommend working for

      Pros

      Decent 401k and benefits. On-site gyms, on-site food services, most buildings are clean and modern. Industry standard vacation/holiday/sick time.

      Cons

      Lots of bureaucracy, favoritism, and inflated job titles. Performance reviews are twice a year with a quota system that limits the # of employees per dept who can get favorable reviews/rankings, which causes poor teamwork and very unhealthy competitiveness among employees since everyone wants to get the top ranking--raises occur only during one of the two review cycles. Taking sick time seems to be widely frowned upon, so it's best to take zero sick days--sick time is sometimes used to ding a person on performance reviews.

      Pros

      San Diego Sometimes challenging work One won't be idle and have some or other project to work

      Cons

      Heavy in the top management, where technical contribution is very low. Base pay seems to be lower than industry standard Less diverse teams Weightage not given to quality work but to quantity.
