Draining and Slow

Pros

Carlsbad is nice and the company is laid back

Cons

It shows that a lot of management and employees have never worked at another company before. Engineering, HR, Ops, etc. could all be far more performant but instead it's just a party. Standards for hiring and the status quo are low.

Pros

Laid back, some coworkers are nice, good benefits

Cons

Poor pay, management plays favorites, company is too large to perform smart, coordinated technical changes. So much technical debt, and nobody gets fired for wasting time or adding to technical debt. It's like there aren't actual design reviews at the top. New hires have a high attrition rate, and internal transfers don't work. I've witnessed 7 different internal transfers fall through because of the process, and many were after they "revamped" it.

Terrible Company

Pros

good company benefits, that was the only thing that kept me going.

Cons

Company is incredibly racist and sexist against men. Immediately when i made a complaint to HR about my manager, HR immediately took a completely defensive approach against me to the point when they wanted to let me go. I sent them about 50 emails letting them know that they were not fixing the problem that I originally brought up and that they were instead targeting me for everything after that and they still NEVER stopped. Thankfully i saved my emails because I will be filing a lawsuit against this company for discrimination, retaliation and other damages. The management there is terrible, unqualified, and remind me of the e4 mafia in the military even though the e4 mafia has been banned and this is also nor the military. They did also did not allow me to move positions which mean that they were trying to keep me in the position I was in so that i could remain unhappy and fail. This company works like a mafia full of extreme right politics and not an actual company.
