Pros

Decent pay.at first even if did not keep pace with cost of living.

Cons

Management ignored engineer suggestion in late 1990s and early 2000s which resulted in losing a massive share of consumer satellite communications, closing most of San Diego operations, and forcing workers to attend training in "Pathway to Dialog", as management blamed engineers for management mistakes. Disfunctional company.
