Pros

Its located in very nice facilities (The Water Garden) and has a very modern vibe. You get experience through training for five weeks, which is nice because it includes a trip to the Bay Area for 3 weeks, but then it all goes downhill from there...

Cons

Where do I begin, the terrible management or the overprivileged coworkers... I'll start with managers... Managers are a hit or miss, usually a miss. This is due to the pettiness and incompetence displayed by overlooking things, and having massive validation issues. This can include not knowing the difference of making your employees your employees, not your buddies. Which takes me to the next part... Even though that the Santa Monica hub has a group of young people, there is a lot of immaturity, cliques, and unprofessionalism displayed throughout the hub. Working there made me feel like I was in "Mean Girls" or in middle school.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
