Pros

Competitive pay at Director level and above. Nice office in Irvine, close to San Diego and Los Angeles.

Cons

CalAmp is sales focus, that means you're always chasing a sale and may constantly be re-tasked. Management doesn't understand software development, staffing or how to get in front of issues. Expectation is you work 55+ hours per week. Even though CalAmp has "Unlimited PTO" it will get canceled if your group is busy. Pay raises when received don't keep up with cost of living or even the national average at other companies. Single product company, possibility that you will stay in a single vertical.
