Pros

- great software engineering management . Some of them are the best I have worked with . - work life balance is pretty good. - office buildings are pretty nice

Cons

- communication is difficult with the San Diego threat intelligence team . Most of them pretty much do not speak basic English . - agile and scrum here means plotting and scheming against the engineering team . They do not understand that software engineering is a creative process and that engineers would deliver better quality if they did not have to deal with the agile teams' drama - no vision or clarity from product management .
