Pros

On paper, compensation may not be as high as other tech companies, but considering it's based in East Bay with lower housing costs and no need to commute (unless you want to live further away in more expensive places), their pay is probably on par. People are expected to show up at work at 9am, which may seem like micro-management. Sure it's nice to get into work any time you want to and "work from home" when you feel like (neither are allowed). But having worked at places where those freedoms are allowed, after couple years it actually gets frustrating because 1. you see some co-workers not taking their job seriously 2. not everyone gets the same freedom. So looking back I see their approach as a good thing because everyone is treated equally as far as work schedule is concerned.

Cons

There are a lot of 1 person departments/teams here. So you can be asked to be jack of all trades just because no one else knows how or wants to do a certain task. The consequence is you don't really get to develop and excel in one area. It could hamper career development if you plan on moving on else where.

Pros

1) Cutting edge technology, you will get some of the best training working here on the properties of light and fiber optics 2) Colleagues are very friendly and helpful. We really work as a team 3) Most directors are very helpful and supportive to mentor you and show you the ropes. 4) Being a mid size company, you can easily move between different roles, project or even departments. 5) Most people don't work weekends here but there are times that we are understaffed and under resourced.

Cons

1) No formal training program, if you want to learn you have to be proactive to do your own research and be brave to ask questions. ( That might not be a con) 2) The culture here lean towards traditional Asian company culture where obedience is expected. Top level management tends to micromanage and bring distrustful of employees in terms of work hours or ability to independently work. The culture is not forgiving for those that are still learning and making mistakes. (Again this is the common culture of many Asian companies)
