Pros

Review done every 6 months.

Good benefit package.

Cons

Lots of late hours and weekend work expected from most engineers and senior engineers.

Bad managers with bad people skills carrying out directions and pushing it down to whoever. No work-life balance at all.

HR will mostly take management's side.

I saw hired consultants not getting paid for weekend work; management wouldn't approve their hours.

Maybe okay if you are not working for QCT / Target SW division. Not worth sacrificing family time just for the great benefit package.

There are plenty of other companies in San Diego who will pay more salary.

Advice to Management

Develop some people skills. Treat employees as you want to be treated.
