Pros

Great coworkers, vacation benefits, paid maternity, and decent pay

Cons

Management does not care. Work life balance is a joke despite being touted by the parent company. Constantly have to watch your back against some managers. For such a huge company, this division is shockingly super cheap and penny pinching (I kid you not!) VERY high turnover rate. Nonexistent bonus and salary increase (if you get one). Irvine division is a sinking ship and truly, truly the worst company I had ever worked for!

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
