Pros

- Irvine has a great cafe and the people that work in the cafe and general office services staff are really nice. - The people here are generally quite professional -Decent work space and overall campus not too noisy - Good work/life balance (i.e. for the most part even in IT you will usually average a typical 8-10 hr work day). -Some cool campus events

Cons

-A very slow moving company all the way around from decision making to technology used. Some of things CG is just looking into the industry has been doing for years. -Out of touch leadership: There is too much in fighting in CG regarding ownership of work, who's job is what, how long someones worked at CG, etc. This place is highly political and sadly it does get in the way of the work . - A non transparent culture: I felt like there was an unnecessary ambiguity to what work needed to be done and when, performance, and cross team visibility. -Growth opportunity: In general very slow upward mobility as well as financial improvement -Culturally biased- it seemed that those who belong to underrepresented groups at CG truly were/are underrepresented also when it came to getting opportunities, promotions, having a voice, and general inclusion.

Pros

The bonuses and CSRP of 15% as well as many benefits are unmatched. I enjoy many of my colleagues and have made life long friends.

Cons

It was a great place to work and many will continue to feel that way until they are affected like those of us in the Norfolk Virginia office. There is no loyalty from the company and people are replaced either by a “vision“ of technology that doesn’t yet even exist within the organization or by cheap labor “offshore“. I thought I would retire from here and now I find myself out of a job after over 20 years before the end of 2027.
