Business Outlook

Pros

Casual relaxed work environment. Some interesting projects. Pay was OK and benefits were good. Nice work location in San Diego office.

Cons

Total lack of focus and product expertise in upper management. Does not recognize the value of quality employees or their technical skills and knowledge. Promotes based on politics and who you know. Recent downturn in economy lead to many layoffs which made coming to work everyday kind of nerve wracking.

Pros

Reasonably laid back. Good work hours.

Very political- promotions do not depend on your performance but on your interpersonal relationship with senior management. HR policies for employees needing immigration sponsorship are not good.
