Pros

Costa Mesa headquarters A lot of good people trying to pay their bills and not get on the wrong side of their manager. Yes, it’s true, I saw a co-worker eventually get fired for not taking the heat and covering up a manager’s politics and mistakes. Good for less skilled people. Good coffee and cafeteria

Cons

You really know there is trouble when in the Costa Mesa headquarters: *** ** The negative reviews are articulate, believable and true ** * 2/3 of the cubes are empty * Silence * Few personal items in the cubes * Contractors quit all the time * People don’t talk in meetings (fear) * Jobs are moving offshore (great for US citizen privacy) * Managers really stuck in their ways *** and the most salient – they were hacked due to mismanagement, low paid offshore software coders, Project Managers micro-managing the projects, in-fighting among managers for their projects, BS passed up to Sr. management to hide politics and mistakes.***

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
