Pros

Money is ok, fast paced, and very high tech. Learned a lot in the early part of my career, but lately i've been turned in an execution machine that can have no opinion on anything. very very fast paced, you can learn a lot at the beginning...

Cons

They work you like crazy with no regard for your personal life. Every project is the most urgent thing on the face of the planet. Most of the time these projects flop and never sell. That doesn't motivate people when we work like crazy to get the chips out the door only to have nothing to show for it but layoffs. Errrrrrr!

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.
