Pros

Very open and engaging coworkers. Open, friendly environment. Management is sometimes open to improving the cultural atmosphere and engineering processes.

Cons

Volatile, unstable, and stagnating environment. Employees are often derailed from their career path by management with short-term myopia. Company often lays off reliable, talented and hard working engineers for cost realignment. There is a prevailing culture of apathy and short-term thinking here and at times a lack of real professional engineering standards.

Pros

Good environment. Lots of opportunity for job training via internal company presentations and classes available to take from UCI extension. People were supportive and answered any questions.

Cons

Management issues. Not a clear roadmap for the company, people are rather lost whether their contributions really help the company.
