Pros

The technical challenge of the work makes it very interesting for an engineer. While the work is challenging the company is currently at a massively uncompetitive position with respect to their main competitor resulting in the engineers being under extreme pressure to deliver a product that will save the company. Ultimately the engineering team will be the scapegoat for the mismanagement and poor strategic product definition that got them to this position.

Cons

The management at the Sunnyvale facility is destructive. The level of management incompetence is truly remarkable and nepotism is completely out of control.

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.
