Pros

You get to work with some of the best engineers. Also, working on some of the most complex designs gives you ample opportunities to learn and innovate.

Cons

Although the top management is focused and working hard, there seems to be disconnect between them and lower management ranks. First and second level managers are more busy managing their bosses and impressing them than growing team and managing the work.

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
