Pros

Great culture: Friendly people and emphasis on work-life balance. San Diego is an excellent location and there is a lot to do after work hours. Clear career ladder potential. You could work here your entire life.

Cons

A little casual in some areas, not much of a sense of urgency or importance (there are exceptions, of course). Compensation isn't up to par with competition. Some groups run very lean and very easy to find yourself overloaded.
