Pros

San Diego is a great place to live

Cons

Illumina has lost it's luster and its way. Multiple reorgs in the past 18 months; loss of 50+ Sr. Directors and VPs has lead to a chaotic, miserable working situation with many of the best people having left for greener pastures.

Pros

Stuck with them for 7 years because it was good back then. Comp is good, benefits are good, and if you're on campus its a nice experience. If you find the right team it can be a dream, but the flipside can be awful. Overall they have a lack of direction in what is turning out to be a highly competitive market.

Cons

Corporate bureaucracy and internal politics are strong but could be worse. The benefits were better in the past and all the perks are winding down with time as they tighten the budgets and try hard to pivot away from dying segments
