Pros

You have a nice work-life balance. The San Diego sun and beaches are a bonus. You can usually control your own work and still find time for meditative walking, swimming, or biking when the pressure gets high.

Cons

Upper management doesn't clearly communicate its plans to everyone else. While this is understandable for preventing leaks, it's also detrimental in keeping morale up.

I think they're tight-lipped not because they have things to hide, but rather because they themselves don't know what they're doing. Reacting to a market versus creating a market is not good.

Advice to Management

Commit to an idea and execute it, instead of flip-flopping between multiple variations.
