Pros

Location, San Diego is a great place to work. Diverse work place, many amenitites. Wireless technology leader. The workplace is a very nice place to go, with many buildings and good facilities. They have many good benifits and on paper value the employee.

Cons

Highly political. Promotions and opportunity is not based on sill level but on how you are "liked" by upper management. Very hostile, non-cooperative work evironment. HR is used as a tool for revenge by workers. Employees not working together, no teamwork. The problem is the people. The company is a good company but the bad seeds ruin the work environment.
