Pros

Interesting problem space; lots to learn and figure out. Lovely location by the water in Pt. Loma. Good benefits (for a small company).

Cons

They lost their focus when they went running after investment capital and haven't gotten it back. They no longer value individual employees. Management is top-heavy and doesn't know how to run a software development company. They have lost a *lot* of good people recently (2015-2016).

Pros

- some helpful engineers - good benefits in terms of vacation,salary, health care, dental care, vision and etc. - various contracts to choose - flexible work hours (You can choose to work remotely)

Cons

-some engineers are arrogant, write impolite emails, talk so rude to new folks, argue a lot and never listen to other opinions. - a lot of dead weight people who just sit in the office doing nothing. - some people work remotely and make communication harder - some engineers only limit their knowledge to their work, but don't know other technical details (i.e. they only stay in their own world, working individually instead of working as a team.) - no job security at all (good employees are let go and keep the dead weight). - reorganize the team structure a couple times within a year.
