Pros

Some very talented engineers with a wealth of knowledge; interesting environment to discuss and work on engineering issues.

Cons

Majority of management at all levels is non-technical and a detriment to the company. This results in management's inability to properly understand scope of an engineering issue, and how to properly resolve the issue in a given timeframe. Decisions are too often made for business reasons and not based on engineering data- hence the Barcelona debacle.

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.
