A decent company with some interesting work, but lots of politics as in most companies

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A few interesting technology projects, a fair number of good engineers, not as much arrogance as in some other companies in the San Diego area. Reasonable workload at most times.

Cons

A lot of clueless people, especially in management, hence most work is reactive rather than proactive. Lack of vision and planning. In such an environment, the political moves and empty talk, not the quality of your work that typically help you advance your career.

Not a good place anymore

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Historically was a great place to work because of all the brilliant engineers and marketing people. No one got in your face because they were running so fast and needed everyone focusing on the future. Salaries were exceedingly low, but equity made up the difference for the most part. THIS IS NO LONGER THE CASE!

Cons

Unfortunately management could not leave well enough alone. The bean counters took over and then they beefed up HR (quadrupled in 2 years) for some reason. Management went from needing the employees to viewing them as a liability and treating them as such. Highest level managers are enriching themselves at the expense of the company's long term prospects.
