Pros

CEO is good person, but he hired wrong management for engineering department

Cons

Looks like they are winding-up the company, at least San Ramon office. They don't have CEO. The current one is temporary, he might move out as well. All the management is new and mediocre. Imagine case where a mediocre person given top position where he can control engineers, pathetic. I am still wondering how they end up here. All the real engineers already left. Don't join this company even if they pay you good. I believe they are running out of money, because they get this cheap resources from a cheap Indian outsourcing company. They are setting up new office in Ireland, don't even join that group. Pretty soon they going to close that too.
