Pros

Relaxed work environment, very smart people, cool projects. Most people are very knowledgeable in their domain and can be great mentors.

Cons

Your manager is in complete control of your experience as an employee. If he/she doesn’t like you, you will have an awful time and there is no point in going to your skip manager or HR, they will do nothing. Managers can also make your experience an awesome one; this is a double edged sword.

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.
