Pros

Great people many, almost all of whom are at the bare minimum competent and many of whom are excellent at their jobs. Very little fat (as a result of recent RIFs) and no superfluous activities that aren't in some way related to driving growth/productivity. Trusting culture, generally. As long as you get your job done, there's very little 'looking over the shoulder' from management. New campus in Austin is fantastic.

Cons

Strategic, cohesive vision is severely lacking. Execution missteps happen all to frequently, of late. Recognition of and reaction to market conditions/direction seem slow and counterintuitive. Medical benefits could be better but in a climate where everyone's getting pinched on bennies, ours aren't too bad. Across-the-board cost-of-living raises suspended until performance turns around (presumably later in '08). The integration of ATI is still not complete.

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.
