Pros

Good personalities to work with for the most part. The benefits are great especially if you are young. My advice is to get in and get them to pay for your degree and then leave. Work/life balance is great since there is very little required in terms of performance.

Cons

There are a considerable amount of people doing little or no work. The company is reliant on heroes that are running most of the projects and it burns people out and they leave. Knowledge sharing is non-existent. The pace is extremely slow. Work that is done over months is done in weeks at other companies. Many people are working full time while supporting another job outside the company due to lack of a challenge and boredom.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
