Pros

Some benefits like 401K and medical insurance, very average for California

Cons

1-No diversity, the high positions are just for the white boy's club . no matter how hard you work, you can only reach the lead position. 2-Multiple layoffs on the last years, people on the highchairs are living too, they know something... and is bad that's why THEY ARE RUNNING. 3-Very fast pacing, quality goes under the table on the daily basis.

Business Outlook

Pros

good work life balance compared to other companies. you can take on almost any project as long as you can justify it. lots of people who have been here 25+ years showing it is a good place to stay and advance your career. Lots of opportunities for promotion and growth. i do believe leadership and management actually cares about their employees wellbeing.

Cons

understaffed and overworked. company silos. underpaid compared to other places nearby. lots of 25+ tenured employees so significant knowledge loss with retirements. projects are over scoped and often times you wont hear "no" or "stop" even when you should.
