Pros

As most others have mentioned, co-workers are for the most part great, and common suffering across the employee base makes people closer. High quality people get hired, unfortunately few stay.

Cons

The key negatives have already been highlighted, but should not be ignored: - owners are in it for themselves and run the place that way - favoritism rules in many departments - turnover is incredible high, and many people leave after few weeks - "old guard" in Chatsworth tends to make life hard for newer employees - great mystery for many years about company's true finances and direction

Pros

There WERE great people who worked there. But wow, they are dropping like flies. “Unlimited” PTO

Cons

Benefits are weak, pay is way below industry for engineers. Leadership is literally ripping out entire departments from the top down.A VP is fired, the new person starts, the new person fires the entire team and replaces it with their own people. A person will be let go and days later the replacement will start. It has impacted so many departments and isn’t stopping any time soon. I’ve already seen it happen in Product/engineering, Finance, HR, Recruiting and other outlying departments. Most people I’m aware of are actively looking because they know the goal is to basically rebuild the company with all new people. It’s chaotic, it’s toxic, RUN!
