Pros
- young team - free lunch 4 days a week, no lunch on half day fridays - ample budget for team snacks, team dinner, bonding events, etc - employee discount - medical, vision, dental, life insurance after 60 days (ppo, no employee contribution) - pto/psl after 90 days - 401k after 1 year - education assistance/relocation comp/family event congratulatory money - bi annual bonus -
Cons
- teams are pretty separated. almost no chance to interact if your work doesn't overlap - a lot of the company uses interns from korea on a j1 visa. they work for a year and return to korea as students or recent grads. this makes continuity pretty difficult. for example, my team of 10 has 4 associate interns and 3 full timers who have been here less than a year. - about 90% koreans. maybe about a third are english comfortable. - salary barely covers living costs in irvine or nearby. car is necessary.
