Pros

Good pay and benefits. Facilities are nice. Location in Poway is nice. Management seemed fine for the most part. Work pace is nice. Variety of work was nice.

Cons

Communication between departments was utterly missing. People were too reluctant or non responsive to help you on a project if their boss didn't approve of a Job Number first. Even a couple easy questions. So i was basically on my own for several projects where I wasn't a subject matter expert. Very weird isolation.

Pros

Lots of structure, tools and resources to do the job.

Cons

Culture was like a Principal's office. Focus on little rules that overshadow overall work output.
