Pros

Located in a great area in Orange County. I made some of my best friends working there. There is opportunity to work in global offices but it can be political. Benefits are great and if people like you they are willing to help.

Cons

The running theme is that teams are run too thin, company is very lean and doesnt pay well, at all. Very difficult to advance even when well liked becuase you don't learn very much outside of the scope of your role, sometimes even if you ask. Frequently, employees quit and get training elsewhere and then comeback or go to MBA school and then come back.
