Pros

- The company has awesome benefits and compensation packages - The work life balance is super chill - Get all the equipment you need - Pretty easy going people to work with - If you are looking for a job the rest of your life, this place is perfect (don't expect to get rich, but don't worry about not having a steady paycheck. Not bad for San Diego lifestyle).

Cons

- Terrible place to learn any new skills on becoming an up and coming engineer or product person - Not many have real world experience running their own businesses - Everyone has to wait on someone to tell them what to do, instead of taking the initiative - Management staff take all the kudos, but will never take the blame for something. Lack of accountability. - If a project doesn't do well, a great team suffers financially (salary increase, bonus or promotion) instead of rewarding people that are great employees. - Too many company pets. A LOT of people suck up to the right managers and don't add much value. Wouldn't last long at many other companies.

Pros

Office Perks: Free gluten-free lunch on Wednesdays, along with free snacks and coffee.

Cons

Zero Real Training: They do not properly train you for the actual job. The training is completely rushed and horrible, leaving you highly unprepared for the actual workflows. Complete Isolation from Management: You are entirely on your own. You will almost never actually meet with your team lead or management for constructive guidance. The "Hunger Games" Culture: The entire operation is completely unorganized and highly unprofessional. You are constantly reminded that you are easily replaceable, creating a toxic, high-stress atmosphere where everyone is walking on eggshells. Absurd Case Metrics & Restricted Breaks: The job is run like a jail. They actively discourage you from taking your legally allowed breaks and expect you to process complex cases back-to-back with zero breathing room. Unethical Directives on Fraud: Shockingly, there are instances where you are actively encouraged to keep fraudulent accounts open rather than properly securing them, which goes against basic compliance integrity. Forced Scheduling & Lack of Agency Support: Management will force you into late schedules with no flexibility. The Blindside Firing: There is zero job security here. If they decide they are done with you, they will simply call your staffing agency behind your back and fire you with absolutely no explanation, leaving you completely blindsided and locked out of your systems without warning.
