Pros

There are some very capable technical people but there are just as many doing little and hanging on. Austin is more affordable than CA.

Cons

Software development is considered less valuable than hardware. There is a bit of a silo mentality which creates competition between teams that should be working together.

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.
