Pros

Irvine office has some good people from whom who can learn but that is where it stops.

Cons

One of the worst companies on the face of this planet. No vision, no planning and non-existent morals in the senior management. They are highly delusional. There is too much micro management. I think the CEO is extremely arrogant, takes no responsibility, always blames the engineers because they only work 4 days from office instead of 5. I think the CEO somehow needs to be changed from the company to save it from going bankrupt. Having worked elsewhere, I can clearly see why people call this place a sweatshop.
