Solid market share Strategic positioning for near-future products Relaxed workload

Cons

No objective performance review; subjective/political/unfair review is the norm Some groups suffer from weak software engineering capabilities Somehow high gay ratio due to location in San Diego -- give roots to weird HR problems & emotional actions

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
