At the Irvine office, my experience was that recruiting and onboarding were not transparent. The job was presented as a solid opportunity, but the reality felt very different once inside. The environment was highly micromanaged, with very little autonomy in daily work.
PTO also felt very limited, at about 5 vacation days and 5 holidays per year.
The biggest issue was the hiring process. In my experience, new hires were brought in regularly, often in groups of around 5 to 10 at a time, even when there did not appear to be confirmed placement on actual teams.
Some people were kept in an in-between area for weeks or months without a clear path forward. Internally, this created a very discouraging atmosphere. From what I observed, only a small number of those hires ultimately made it onto teams, while many others were let go after leaving other jobs to come here.
The recruiting process also felt overly aggressive. Even after making it clear that was currently employed, there was continued pressure to move quickly, which gave the impression that the opportunity was more secure than it turned out to be. HR errors were also frustrating and difficult to resolve.
