Pros

Working for the "little guy" in the CPU space and sometimes winning against the big competitor. To be able to develop great products and sell them with a fraction of the people and money is exciting.

Cons

A sense of dread about the future (of your job and of the company). Sr. Management doesn't communicate a clear plan to the worker bees on how we're going to get out of this hole and return to profitability. There's also a lot of the old boy's club still around and many decisions are made for political or personality driven reasons and not because it makes business sense. I don't get a sense there is a career path for me and opportunities in other groups are unknown.

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.
