Pros

Free food, one of the few tech companies in San Diego

Cons

Management's IQ is one step about a primates...barely. Only work here if you exhaust all options and I mean ALL options. The culture is unbearable. People not knowing what to do will be common. They will give you really bad tools and expect perfect results and if they're not perfect, you will get yelled at. Your anxiety will go through the roof but they have health insurance to cover that so you're good. Culture is extremely toxic.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review! We're glad you enjoyed the food, and San Diego is getting more and more tech companies by the day, so we might not be so alone out here soon enough! We're sorry you haven't had the best experience with management. Managing is a very difficult job, so we strive to provide regular training and support for our management staff. No one here expects perfection; it's just not a reasonable expectation. In fact, we encourage informed risk-taking and mistakes are nothing to be ashamed of - they are a great way to learn . We also don't approve of anyone, manager or otherwise, yelling in a disrespectful manner (yelling in celebration is another story!). If you ever face unreasonable expectations or you feel you are being treated in a way that doesn't show respect, please reach out to your HR Business Partner for support.
