Good work life balance, but way behind the times and cheap
Pros
Flexibility to work from home and deal with any personal matters is extremely nice. The people who work here are generally dedicated, low-stress, and smart. There's a pretty good social atmosphere. The location in Goleta is incredible. There are well-defined opportunities for advancement, and they seem to generally prefer to promote from within.
Cons
The lack of investment in anything related to DevOps and internal tooling is honestly embarrassing for a company of this size. Maintenance of infrastructure, security auditing, etc is all completely left up to developers, and because there are almost no teams working on internal shared resources, you're left to start from scratch every time. Sometimes this is freeing, but ultimately it wastes a ton of time. There is a persistent threat of layoffs and other executive tom foolery that ends up being a combination of terrifying and frustrating.
