Pros

There are many opportunities to learn new tools, skills, and technologies here, and a lot of great employee perks like free online educational programs, if you take advantage of them. The pay and benefits are still among the best in San Diego.

Cons

The atmosphere no longer feels like a family like it did when the Jacobs family was calling the shots. The primary focus seems to be on the stock price, rather than on innovation. They got the U.S. president to save the company from the Broadcom hostile takeover, but the company is still outsourcing jobs by the hundreds.
