Pros

Great among San Diego employers. Flexible hours, understanding managers, good culture, and great work life balance - as long as you are in the right organization.

Cons

Hours tracking when salaried is a pain but a reality when working for a government contractor, even on non-government projects. Lots of compliance. Some government projects command long hours. Software engineers are not paid as well as expected, nor is the equity comparable to more well-known tech companies.

Pros

Best work/life balance ever! The HR department is really in touch with what makes employees happy. Great place to work.

Cons

It's extremely technical. The system has taken me a couple of years to fully understand. Sometimes proprietary equipment can be complicated.
