The worst place that I have ever worked

Software architect

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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
