Pros

Interesting work, hidden nuggets of talent and mentorship if you know where to look.

Cons

"Appeal to Tradition" fallacy, very bureaucratic and almost impossible to get your voice/new ideas heard if you haven't "earned your stripes". Little accountability.

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.
