      Work is good but a very Toxic culture

      Senior software systems test engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Work is good, Lot to learn, people are dedicated and hardworking - you get a lot of material to help you - Tuition reimburse - Lot of training to choose from - ESPP program and bonus at year end

      Cons

      - Politics Politics Politics !! - Toxic work culture [not generic][specific to the org I was working ] - Totally Biased towards certain groups/factions - Most of the times, work is randomly assigned and deadlines are given to unnecessarily pressurize you, while it is clearly not relevant .. There will be pressure almost every week, but at the end of the year .. you will ask yourself why the hell, what did I achieve ? - No transparency , Low morale - work life balance is not encouraged - No-one cares, you feel merely a number - Low Base pay, but probably something is being addressed ,

      A dinosaur on the verge of extinction

      Principal engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      San Diego is one of the finest cities

      Cons

      Old in every sense of the word. Average age close to 40. Most people still program in C exclusively. Outdated organization - 3 people (system + software + test engineer) doing the job of 1 software engineer in silicon valley. Same business model from the 90s. Technology hasn't changed since 4G - 5G is just smoke and mirrors, and upper management doesn't know how to run anything else.
