Seriously Disappointed

Pros

I worked with some really great people in a nice environment.

Cons

Management is seriously toxic and dishonest. Don't believe anything they tell you. Even people doing good work live in fear for their jobs. Don't get comfortable there or you could be in for an ugly surprise. This negates all the potential positives of the place.

Pros

Great sales pitch. looks like a great place to work and the benefits are very nice. that is were it stops.

Cons

way to much stress, suicide are common and death threats are the norm at this place. People are pushed to their limits. they will pay you off when you leave so you will not sue, but that dose not solve the issues with in. this is not in every department, but in it is in more then it should be and HR and the hirer ups do not feel the need to fix the problems. turn over is extremely high for the industry.

Pros

Great office facilities in Carlsbad.

Cons

Long hours with horrible work life balance. Management is out of touch with the engineers. No job structure. No opportunities. A lot of internal politics. If you want a career and have a desire to excel this is not the place to be with no way to move up and leaders without ambition this is a place where careers go to die.
