Pros

Nice medical plan. Free food and drinks, onsite gym.

Cons

Work/life balance is a fairy tale. Reactive management instead of proactive. Most managers (at least at carlsbad location) suffer from extreme mirco-management syndrome. Somehow these inadequate "leaders" not only are allowed to keep their positions, but get promotions. Do not question anything, you will be replaced by 3 people whom you must train, whose combined salary and talent does not equal your own. If you are a serious professional there are many better options in the San Diego area.
