Pros

Great office facilities in Carlsbad.

Cons

Long hours with horrible work life balance. Management is out of touch with the engineers. No job structure. No opportunities. A lot of internal politics. If you want a career and have a desire to excel this is not the place to be with no way to move up and leaders without ambition this is a place where careers go to die.

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.
