Pros

- Great work/life balance - Free drinks at vending machines - Unlimited sick days - Paid medical benefits - Great annual parties/celebrations - Individual offices for most positions - Potential bonus every 6 months

Cons

- Large corporation w/ typical politics/bureaucracy - Some buildings/teams not central and spread across San Diego - Rankings/performance reviews based on upper management deliberation and not end-to-end impact - Reductions in force can go unreported in the media if handled in small numbers...they still happen even though you don't hear that the company is laying off

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
