Pros

Decent pay, ESOP, and good people for the most part. Good insurance, benefits, and PTO.

Cons

Central employees think they're hot sh*t and have toxic attitudes. It always seems like a rat race to push your coworkers down in order to make yourself look better. Extremely poor training and onboarding processes (AKA none) which can lead to new college grads left demoralized and confused. McCarthy says they're all about development until it actually comes time to develop someone. PEs here are treated like idiots. McCarthy will work you like a dog. Expect 55-60 hour weeks at a minimum.

Pros

Benefit Package was decent. Retirement is solid.

Cons

Culture is very overbearing in regards to work life balance. There is none and that’s the norm. Management is not actively enraged with project teams. Many Engineers will suffer from burnout working here or lack overall career progression. Also there are several terrible managers in the LA area Lizama, Raufi, etc.
