Pros

Pension/401k match. Close to UTC and nice beaches. Gym, tennis courts, and pool at Torrey pines location can be nice.

Cons

Regarding IFT dept: Seems like engineers mostly work on technician type lab work with little or no training on traditional engineering concepts. This along with poor morale is leading to a high turnover rate, I would not recommend this group for new engineers right out of college.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
