Pros

Great starting position for students, good pay, cafeteria and proximity to UCI.

Cons

Constantly overworked when managers and co-workers should understand school is more of a priority. No structure to internship program. Work easily over-exceeds what can be done in workday yet work is expected to be done immediately.

There are no idiots here.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are no idiots here. Okay, there are a few but they are the rare exception. In general, there are a high caliper of coworkers. There is also an air of success around here. People feel like we build quality products that "win" in the marketplace. While they're not perfect, the senior management makes a genuine effort to look after the employees. Times when the employees have been short changed by circumstances, the senior management has done their best to compensate people for it.

Cons

Being on the cutting edge means that there are constant schedule demands.
