Awful place, hire literally anyone

Pros

Laid back and super diverse

Cons

Managers don’t know what they are doing. Promote the ones who don’t work and the hard workers get left in the dust.

Great place to work.

Pros

Smallish company gives you the opportunity to make a difference. Now with 401k match and free pizza some days.

Cons

36 inch pizza should be cut into squares, not ungainly 18-inch slices.

NOC is a mess

Business Outlook

Pros

The toilets flushed, and leaving at the end of the day brought great pleasure.

Cons

The Santa Clara NOC has the most pathetic management I has ever encountered. From a management perspective there was little control over anything. Did not understand why they even had one. The team consisted of a group of guys who hung out together prior to working there. Anyone hired was an outsider. They throw a bunch of stuff at you with little to no perpetration. The guy training me constantly reminded me that I may not be there that long. He was right I left only after about 5 weeks. I had a family to support, and no other opportunity. It did not matter I was not going to take the ridicule from the staff there any longer.
