Pros

Hybrid work schedule 9/80 work schedule so every other friday off Headquarters in San Diego

Cons

Heard Hybrid shchedule is going away They recently took away 401K matching The company has been unprofitable for a few years now so they don't even give cost of living raises They were acquired a few years ago, just has a large layoff and recently fired employees so they can bring new employees back in the office full time. No more profit sharing No bonuses for the peons Company has cut some departments down so much that the work load has increased 3 fold on the remaining employees Company is about the be sold off by the investment company that owns it.

Pros

My manager was awesome. Job was diverse and creativity was welcomed. Salary was pretty good, even if I was technically doing two types of positions. Co-workers were also good, some great, actually. Work life balance was also pretty good. All credit to that goes to my manager and the managers I've had before my last one.

Cons

In the end, my loyalty seemed to not be valued. My hard work showed and I met deadlines before the due date. Only called in sick when actually sick, and hardly took time off. The thing that bothered me the most was the way they laid me off. Group Teams video meeting, but the person giving us the news was not on video. Just a black screen, telling you that was your last day and that after that meeting your access will be cut off. And it was. I almost felt like an email would've been better than that black screen. That is really the only time I felt bad about the way things went. I know corporate life brings in the usual fiscal year layoffs, but it just felt wrong the way it was done, in my opinion.
