Pros

Boulder does not have a high cost of living, yet employees get similar salaries and perks as compared to San Diego.

There are lots of things to do in Boulder.

Cons

Hard work and overtime hours put in are not appreciated, and criticism is heavy.

Employees usually leave by 5 or 6, but at times can be working late and round the clock.

San Diego is given preference, and the feeling of being at a branch of a major company is palpable.

The cafeteria is not great.

Advice to Management

Appreciate your employees more. Don't judge solely on results; see how much effort and time they've put in.
