      The ship has sunk.

      Pros

      Good work in some groups. Some smart engineers still in the company. Nice campus in San Diego. Weather! 5G adoption might be an upside in 2020 possibly.

      Cons

      Pay is not comparable to other tech companies. Losing talent due to attrition. Massive cost cutting. Can't attract the best people currently as talent quality is going down. Severely understaffed in many groups. Cash bonuses and RSUs practically non existent for last few years. Leadership lacks vision and is risk averse. Horrible medical plan. (Previous plan was great) Annual review cycle from twice a year is just a cost cutting tactic.

      Pros

      Good salary and one of the best companies in San Diego (not a lot of other options if you live in SD).

      Cons

      Not the awesome company it used to be. It used to be an innovative company with top talent, however, with morale declining, continuous layout offs/restructuring, little or no career path and growth and mid level management, people are looking elsewhere. It's become an old, stale company. Merit has decrease - bonuses are basically non-existent even for top performers. Healthcare is expensive - huge difference when we went from amazing healthcare to horrible overnight. Too many drastic changes hit all at once rather than easing through the these transitions.

      good place, bad upper management

      Pros

      fun people to work with, cool stuff to work on, cutting edge and great atmosphere. Was a great place to learn about the computer industry, boulder is an awesome location

      Cons

      Upper management does not know how to keep best engineers around. Massive layoffs happened and yet they were recruiting for identical positions on India.
