      A hard gig, but really meaningful work

      Pros

      "You get two weeks to say you're new, and then you're the expert." That was one of the first things I heard, and it was true -- for the responsibilities, for the amount of work, and for the consequences. You're working with incredibly bright people on some really tricky problems that always need an answer yesterday; and you'll eventually get proficient in the race between accuracy, rigor, and time. But people almost always have the right end-goal in mind; and they don't let ego or schedule drive best engineering practice and judgment.

      Cons

      The pressure is pretty intense, and it takes a lot of willpower to enforce a work-life balance -- it's manageable, but barely.

      Pros

      Lots of overtime opportunity Perks - free coffee, free/low-cost healthcare, subsidized meals Time off, you get a lot, but might be able to use it when you want

      Cons

      Long hours - if you're looking for a good "work-life balance" this won't be a good f it. I came here specifically for the fact that there is an endless amount of work and most of my co-workers think the same way Constantly changing Few, but influential toxic people - lots of people have adopted a negative view and I have noticed it is a few influential low-level people spreading these sentiments, it's a drag.

      Pros

      It's good to work for a company with lofty goals. Great people. We all care about each other.

      Cons

      Not a good work/ home life balance. Long hours and low pay for this industry average.
