      Pros

      An incredibly stable employer, with ZERO history of layoffs. Continuous growth as the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (drone) market continues to expand worldwide. Steady leadership at the upper echelons. Solid business model.

      Cons

      Continuous growth results in continuous growing pains. Not the top salary in the industry. Often outgrows infrastructure.

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits. Facilities are nice. Location in Poway is nice. Management seemed fine for the most part. Work pace is nice. Variety of work was nice.

      Cons

      Communication between departments was utterly missing. People were too reluctant or non responsive to help you on a project if their boss didn't approve of a Job Number first. Even a couple easy questions. So i was basically on my own for several projects where I wasn't a subject matter expert. Very weird isolation.
