Pros

Two world class cultures, experts in CPUs and Graphics. Push hard, reach high, grab the stars. Learn a lot. Good pay and benefits. Good career potential. Flexible hours, covered parking. Ontario!

Cons

The mixed cultures didn't meld well. Austin didn't know how to support Toronto, and found it hard to get out of the way. Not enough people assigned to projects, lots of burnout, stress, and overwork. The superstars left when the train slowed down.
