Pros

free lunches every day monday - friday

Cons

Software safety metrics, reliability performance indicators, number of software issues ... are carefully "massaged" and "cooked" in order to present a faked vision of technical achievement. If you see technical problems/bugs or managerial inefficiencies then dare not suggest any change! Otherwise, you will be reprimended later, sometimes months afterwards. Definitly not a safe environment for working.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We can assure that safety is our #1 priority. We have safety personnel embedded across the organization to ensure checks and balances and prevent a conflict of interests, as well as ensure safety is woven into everything we do. Safeguard is one of our core values and we do not take it lightly (in fact, everyone's bonus is tied in part to safety). However, even if this weren't true, we keep a safety driver behind the wheel every time we test our technology so they can take over if need be. There is no feasible way to fake that. We definitely could do a better job of communicating throughout the organization about all the safety steps we take across different departments, so we appreciate your review since it helps us better understand this gap in communication. If you have any concerns, please bring them up confidentially with HR because we take safety very, very seriously.

Pros

Free food, one of the few tech companies in San Diego

Cons

Management's IQ is one step about a primates...barely. Only work here if you exhaust all options and I mean ALL options. The culture is unbearable. People not knowing what to do will be common. They will give you really bad tools and expect perfect results and if they're not perfect, you will get yelled at. Your anxiety will go through the roof but they have health insurance to cover that so you're good. Culture is extremely toxic.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review! We're glad you enjoyed the food, and San Diego is getting more and more tech companies by the day, so we might not be so alone out here soon enough! We're sorry you haven't had the best experience with management. Managing is a very difficult job, so we strive to provide regular training and support for our management staff. No one here expects perfection; it's just not a reasonable expectation. In fact, we encourage informed risk-taking and mistakes are nothing to be ashamed of - they are a great way to learn . We also don't approve of anyone, manager or otherwise, yelling in a disrespectful manner (yelling in celebration is another story!). If you ever face unreasonable expectations or you feel you are being treated in a way that doesn't show respect, please reach out to your HR Business Partner for support.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We do believe that we have nice people and that they are our greatest assets. We disagree that our leadership is two-faced. Sometimes miscommunication happens and there is a misunderstanding but our leadership team wouldn't deliberately say one thing and do another. Also, even if we wanted to be dishonest with investors, there is a very rigorous auditing process by independent agencies to ensure that everything we say is actually true.
