An intimidating workplace for creativity and growth...

Technical director

Business Outlook

Pros

They had fairly good compensation but dwindling steadily...nice Irvine campus

Cons

They are so paranoid and sinister they sent their company attorney to rather insidiously trap me (pretending he was PR) into admitting I may have used company resources to write my Switching A-Z Power book -- very deceptive and tricky HR and an overall culture that does the opposite of encouraging growth for anyone really.. They think they own you.

Pros

- Great location, can't beat Orange County! - Great Cafeteria! - Smart people - Beautiful campus - Flexible schedule

Cons

Lack of promotions at the lower levels. Finance organization is very top heavy with too many directors and managers who believe they shouldn't do anything. A lot of the work is very boring and mundane work. Too many talkers and not enough doers
