Pros

San Diego.

Sometimes challenging work.

One won't be idle and will have some or other project to work on.

Cons

Heavy in the top management, where technical contribution is very low.

Base pay seems to be lower than industry standard.

Less diverse teams.

Weightage is not given to quality work but to quantity.

Advice to Management

Retain talent and revive the company by increasing the talent in the bottom rung of engineers. Help engineers to move across different departments. Innovate in other strategic areas like AI, VR.
