Pros

There are some good engineers here, the working environment is comfortable enough, the technology is interesting. Working hours can be flexible, although in my experience you will pay for trying to take advantage of that in the long run because you are not building up your appearance of being a "hard worker".

Cons

Lots of political games for advancement, management is poor from the lower levels to the upper, with only a few exceptions, pay and other rewards are low for the industry though management will constantly tell you otherwise.

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.
