Good employer, but can do a lot better
Good employer, but can do a lot better
Decent pay for the SoCal area. Stocks and RSUs make it definitely look better than other employers in the San Diego area. Health insurance coverage is very good, but the company is moving towards a cheaper plan starting in 2016.
Zero work-life balance. Everything works based on priority, and short staffing makes matters even worse.
It's very easy for new hires to get lost in the system, and difficult for existing employees to motivate themselves.
If you are planning to compete in multiple segments, make sure the teams are appropriately staffed for that.
