Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Diego, California, United States
April 12, 2016
Pros: A lot of interesting R&D projects, many talented/dedicated engineers. (Sadly, a lot of them already left.)
Cons: Some high-title engineers/leads' knowledge is out of date and they are incapable of leading R&D projects.
A lot of R&D projects are pushed to lower-level engineers to figure out on their own, forcing them to live neck-breaking lives.
