Pros

Work-life balance - unless you are a Sr. Director or higher, generally there isn't a lot of demand on your nights and weekends. Free cross-fit and yoga

Cons

Outdated business model - despite some capital investment in growth areas, the political climate within the company still treats the growth business unit (BU) as a step-child and doesn't provide the non-capital support necessary for the fledgling BU to thrive (i.e., they keep moving the target goals for the BU, or adding target goals without providing additional resources) Bare minimum benefits Main locations in Irvine and San Jose are not ideal Bare minimum investment in resources, such as HR, IT and Legal
