Pros
- Monterey HQ is a pretty nice and well kept building. - Monterey is a very beautiful area with amazing weather - Employee lounge area with fitness center and pool table - A few company sponsored events per year - Generally very nice co-workers - Very easy interview process with no technical portion (could be seen as a pro or con)
Cons
- Poor management - Only those that are close with management get recognized and promoted - Very poor Quality Assurance personnel. They have little to no knowledge of technology - Developers are treated as second class citizens in relation to the business side - The network is so locked down that it decreases developer productivity. - Projects are started and then abandoned quite often - Logging number of hours spent on each ticket. Nearly impossible to be accurate when there are a lot of little things without a ticket or helping out teammates. - Most policies are only enforced when management feels like enforcing them. - Working remote is looked down upon - No clear path to career growth. Annual goals are made and never followed up on. - Semi-professional attire that only some employees follow - IT management has little to no technical knowledge, so IT employees fool them often. - Minimal BA support with spotty requirements. - Some employees are on call multiple days per week
