Pros

Pay is pretty high. You learn a lot. A lot of talented people.

Cons

Depends on the department, but I was practically working every weekend for the year I was there. You will be expected to skip lunch if there is a lot of work to do. Nobody will say it directly, but it is an unwritten rule.

It's also hard to get around San Diego without a car. The shuttle doesn't work late, even though you might have to work until 8 and sometimes 10.

Advice to Management

Learn to not overwork your best employees, or they will leave.
