Pros

Conveniently located in Pleasanton, some highly talented technical people

Cons

inexperienced management, politically charged environment, contractors working absurd hours/schedules, poor work/life balance.. It seemed that there were many people in management who should never be managing people or making important technology decisions. There seemed to be a general lack of ethics throughout this company and it is by far the worst place i have ever worked

Pros

Good management, bonus opportunities, training

Cons

The pay is low. Staffing isn’t enough to meet workload, no performance based raises for entry level employees, and very few promotions available
