      Pros

      People are genuine and friendly The pace of work is reasonable, unlike big tech companies

      Cons

      Salary is 30% lower than the market average Hours are beyond 40hrs/wk Large project scope High learning curve Inconvenient hours for meetings around the globe 2x/wk You may not get a bonus at all You may be offered Employee Stock Purchase Plan instead of bonus (buy stock at a discount vs. a bonus) Access to modern technology and applications is limited (AI is restricted) The work you do is highly regulated, under NDA, and you may not be able to discuss it when seeking future employment elsewhere without taking legal risk There's not anything around near the Seattle office. Need to take lunch in-office (bring your own, or visit the cafeteria).

      Pros

      Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

      Cons

      Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
