Pros

Located in a nice part of San Diego

Cons

Family owned and run - like Game of Thrones but worse. Zero leadership and little actual management, ridiculously outdated systems, tools, and processes.

Pros

Relaxed environment, there's no rush for you to get work done, and long as you're submitting.

Cons

Didn't work on something I'd consider exciting or modern that translated to valuable skills on my resume.
