Pros

Awesome benefits, especially with the new health center in Carlsbad. Good work / life balance. Great people / culture! Some projects were very interesting, others weren't. There was institutional support for continuing education. Most of the people were extremely nice and helpful. The culture encourages this. I really believed in the product -- fast internet on flights and in rural communities.

Cons

My experience varied widely based on which team I was on. Some teams use modern software development practices and some just don't, with no apparent plans to change. Performance reviews and feedback on my work were rare and often vague. There's a lot of silo-ing and politics between different office locations.

Pros

Very good health insurance. Try to get employees excited about working there. Relaxed working environment. Plenty of PTO.

Cons

Poor in recognizing talent and promoting within. Pay is low and not very open about negotiating salaries for new positions once you are hired. You start the position, then they give you the salary.
