Pros

Lots of great people in the lower ranks.

Cons

Never felt job was secure. (layoffs were common and a lot of time they were badly planned and done) Engineering often had leaks to the public, but management would never allow security to fix those leaks. They would rather not restrict engineering and have half the world know what they were doing before it was done. Quite a few of their money saving moves ended up costing more in the end.

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.
