Pros

Good company making proud products; good benefits; maybe the number 1 tech company in San Diego, a wonderful city.

Cons

I fail to see a strong skill set in my coworkers. People keep asking you very basic technical questions. The promotion scheme is questionable. Some people become managers just because they stay in this company long enough, and unfortunately, they don't have good sense in technology itself.

Advice to Management

Make sure the interview process works for its original purpose. Make sure your senior managers are not mediocre. Make sure star employees can be identified and promoted at an accelerated speed.
