Pros
The reviews on here are a mixed bag, so I’m gonna say your experience is definitely tied to how great your department is and how efficient your manager is - so this review is purely through MY experience. Starting with pros, you definitely get to work and collaborate with a great number of people, even outside your team. If you’re just starting your career, it can potentially expose you to a variety of very interesting projects that will be good for you and your portfolio. Benefits are expensive, but I guess better than most firms The admins are wonderful people (San Diego)
Cons
Manager loved to micromanage, her position might as well be a Micromanager - made tasks harder than it shouldve been, does not communicate well, overall just awful performance for someone thats supposed to be leader. Upper management does not care no matter how many times they say they do. They only see you as a number, and it’s been made evident in so many in person meetings. Downtown san diego does not have a parking structure for employees - to pay an extra $150 for parking every month is just ridiculous
