Pros

There are a great number of really competent people at Real. It's at a great location.

Cons

There needs to be a shake up in the management. Although a lot of the engineers are really talented and hardworking, there are some really really inept managers. These people suck at being technical, suck at managing people and do not realize their own ineptitude.
