Pros

Pros: friendly culture, can be a good place to learn things about SATCOM, can work on interesting programs

Cons

Cons: salary structure is poor compared to other San Diego companies, no titles for technical people - so effectively prevents people from climbing up, management portrays this as lack of bureaucracy - but is very liberal in giving titles to management folks, can end up doing crap stuff if you are not careful - though that would be true true anywhere else anyways.
