Pros

You get to work on new technologies.

San Diego is a great place to live.

Cons
  • No work-life balance at all. You are expected to work on weekends/late nights.
  • Too much office politics; reviews are biased based on personal relationships.
  • Unstable since they are reliant on a couple of customers for the majority of revenue.
  • Falling stock; layoffs looming.
  • Poor benefits, upcoming health insurance with high deductibles.
Advice to Management

Set an example if times are tough.
