Pros

Amazing work-life balance - Being able to leave work at work is something that's hard to find now. Care for employees - Despite the recent layoff issue, Moebius really does care about its employees. They implemented a wellness program, provide a great snack and soft drink bar, throw quarterly Happy Hours and company events (K1 Speed was the last), and celebrate success through Top Dog awards at the Christmas party. Not to mention they are generous with bonuses and have a semiannual compensation review when things are good. Diverse technology stack - While their main product is a monolithic Java application, the various other projects that support it are build around a variety of other tools. NodeJS, Typescript, React, Redux, Python, Kotlin, Kubernetes, and Docker. It's a great place to learn. Small offices - Most rooms are 4 developers, which keeps noise down and provides a space for collaboration on project goals. No need to wait for 3 managers to requisition a picnic table desk space for you. They give you a real desk with able room for 2 monitors, a standing desk, and nice ergo chairs. Transparency - During the recent layoff cycle the management constantly informed the entire company of the state of events. They did not give specifics but gave everyone fair warning as soon as the year started. Most places axe you within a few days of the rumors starting, but Moebius gave a month.

Cons

Not good at layoffs - I don't think there was a rehearsed off-boarding strategy. There was no consistency in the way each employee was off-boarded. Some were rushed out the door while others were left to linger. Commute - They have positions at SSC (NIWC) Pacific and Sorrento Valley, so driving distance can be an issue as projects do change.

Not what it used to be

Pros

It was (was, not is) a good company with good employees, work life balance, good snacks, good benefits, and an average compensation. I would have given 4 stars if it weren’t for the bad management and communication.

Cons

Cons: Not much room for career growth, No control over projects, bad management and communication (see below), Good "values" don't matter if they're not applied. Moebius is not what it used to be. Initially they were transparent about losing a project and the possibility of a layoff (which was respectable), but after that they randomly started communicating as if a layoff was unlikely. They also made other bad decisions and lied about giving 2 weeks of notice to the employees they laid off. Not only did they give no notice, but they did the layoff the week before the week they said they would give notice. If they were not sure about the time, they should have said so. Instead they left the laid-off employees jobless without notice a week before they were supposed to be. They also said they did the layoffs based on “experience and skills” but they actually kept many new grads over several people with years of experience, which makes their claim suspicious. Their choices weren’t necessarily wrong, but it’s wrong if they were dishonest about it. It seems they care less about their employees and their own values after losing funding.

We are sorry you feel you were misled, as that certainly wasn't our intent. We attempted to be as transparent as we could with our internal communications, but as you know, it's hard to give "notice" beyond what we provided, given the secure nature of the work we do. We took many factors into account in deciding who would be laid off. Best wishes in your future career.

Pros

Most of the people here are great. The performance review process is about as painless as it could be. They tend not to overwork you, which is HUGE PLUS.

Cons

Generally see only a small percentage of other Moebius employees due to contracts. Small company so unclear how much room there is for growth.
