Pros
  • Decent work-life balance in some teams
  • San Diego :)
  • Decent place to start your career
Cons

Not recommended to stay beyond 5-6 years, since the work gets pretty boring.

iOS is almost very difficult. Although there are a lot of jobs, the process is very slow and almost always resets your review cycle.

It's all about "who knows who" and competing against people who work 12-18 hours a day.

Not a progressive outlook.

Advice to Management
  • The HR department needs pruning. They basically serve at the pleasure of upper management rather than assisting engineers.
  • Perhaps try to listen to the newer generation and be open to taking negative criticism rather than hiding behind your titles.
