Pros

Some excellent engineering challenges available. Get to work with some very smart people. Access to some very interesting technologies.

Cons

A company of have's and have-not's. CPU side of company were the have's, everyone else is a have-not. Content to be a "fast follower" rather than a leader outside of a very small core group of competencies. In panic mode trying to figure out how to survive. Constant churn in terms of projects and priorities. Don't compensate all that well. Company is run out of TX/CA so remote sites get the short end of the deal in a lot of the decision making processes.

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.
