Pros

Solid market share Strategic positioning for near-future products Relaxed workload

No objective performance review; subjective/political/unfair review is the norm Some groups suffer from weak software engineering capabilities Somehow high gay ratio due to location in San Diego -- give roots to weird HR problems & emotional actions
