Pros

Interesting work environment where people seem highly motivated. Cutting edge tech is fun to develop. There are very few “normal” days.

Cons

Very blatant discrimination against women; there are 0 women in upper management. The C-suite is all men who are friends or family of the CEO. Goals and initiatives seem short-sighted. Many people get fired over budget cuts or layoffs at random so that the finance people are happier or the jobs page is “always hiring” new roles. Something like 20% of staff are fired every year. The equity/stocks are worthless because still has no profitable products and is only surviving on private investment.

Pros

San Diego is a great place to live. Ok health insurance

Cons

No time off and expected that work is your life. Poor leadership and micro-managers Poor pay and work/life balance do not exist Offer options that you have to pay for with no clear path to a payback. Lots of fairy dust
