Pros

Company does emphasize healthy work/life balance. Most people went home by 5pm. Also a great place to work if you're mormon since most of the senior staff are mormon.

Cons

Management of the software department was atrocious across the board. Lots of technical debt piled up and wasn't paid off and problems were only getting worse. Too much focus on building the wrong thing and not focusing on core business product. Management has decided that the problem is the developers and has micromanaged some of their best out the door. Also a company-wide focus on doing things as cheaply as possible. Not efficiently, not pragmatically, but just as dirt-cheap as possible. Salaries, experience of workers, office equipment, quality of code. Everything was done as fast and cheaply as possible. This is a poor long-term solution because by not investing in the business and people that work there, they're not building a company where people would want to work.

Pros

Good location in Irvine.

Cons

Horrible unhealthy work environment. The pay is peanuts and the raises are so low it's embarrassing to mention you even got one. This company is all about nepotism and favoritism. Unless you are connected by family or friends do not expect any respect at this company. Employees are constantly snitching on each other and are rewarded for it. Applying here was the worst decision of my life that I regret on a daily basis.

Pros

Free snacks and drinks. Good location.

Cons

I don't think you find a future there. The VP of technology is very immature, arrogant, and unprofessional, who thinks he's smart. He will take it very personal if you try to improve the current code area that has been written by him. Can you imagine that the code is written by a person who doesn't have a formal education in software or science? Your supervisor is afraid of losing his job, so he doesn't have any power to protect his team. Company doesn't want to invest to its people. You might be tempted to work there because they give you an important title, but the title doesn't really reflect to anything (salary or responsibility). Final advice: run away, don't walk!
