A huge and proportionally egotistic corporation

Business Outlook

Pros

Big and strong company, apparently no financial problems. Good opportunities for engineers in R&D.

Cons

In my field (SW development), the company is very inexperienced. It's like working in a garage company, but with all the corporate administrative and management BS applied. The company doesn't however accept that it could do anything wrong, it worships its processes and rules and doesn't take care about its employees. Employees are just cogwheels in a machine. Pushing through even the simplest improvement takes extraordinarily long, involving people who have absolutely nothing to say about the subject yet having the power to turn the thing down just on a whim.

Great location in Orange County, CA. Top notch people - highly knowledgeable and highly motivated. Real professionals. Demanding but fair. Great atmosphere in the office. Good visibility to senior management. Good salary and great benefits.

Not great work-life balance as time demands can be very high. While great location it is an expensive place to live.
