Pros

Work-life balance, decent stock options, excellent location (San Diego cannot be beat in the U.S.A. in terms of weather and lifestyle).

Cons

Pay could improve; 401K matching is OK. Growth is a bit slow, and the company is top-heavy. There's too much disparity in growth pace between groups. SW teams have much faster growth, while certain HW teams are stuck due to a bad management style.

Advice to Management

Work assignments can be made more diverse/broad. Improve base pay and 401K matching. There is too much disparity in career growth pace between groups. SW teams have much faster growth, while certain HW teams are stuck due to bad management style.
