Pros
Location: nice city, awesome weather (although its the same year round), close proximity to nice places, great beaches Facilities: great gym and showers, up-to-date facilities, good cafe Traffic: not much, many places to go to quickly Housing: not as expensive as Bay Area, newer communities, younger folks specially near La Jolla area
Kontras
Culture: very bad, too many Indian managers trying to compete for minute incremental raises Vertical: not much vertical movement unless the managers like you, too much politics, many times seems unfair HR: or a lack there of! i actually don't know what HR does beside handing out "Employee Assistance Program" brochures once the employees are exhausted. Salary: Much less than market and definitely lower than many colleagues
