Pros

Important products contribute to improving healthcare, diverse portfolio of technology, one of largest San Diego employers. Some enlightened managers (just not enough of them).

Cons

Ancient & miserable systems for development projects makes very hard to get product out. Gaping divide between management with professional staff leads to some nasty politics & nepotism.

Pros

Good PTO and benefits. Work load is manageable but the company is going through a business transformation process which could increase workload to maximize efficiency.

Cons

Work life balance decreased steadily over the years with not a lot of room for growth within FP&A. Many roles were BPO’d out.
