Pros

Great experience, you learn a lot about some of the cutting edge technologies that are going into computers in the near future.

Cons

Basically impossible to get promoted on your own merit- you have to play the game and make the right friends. This, of course, then means that you have a lot of people at the upper levels who aren't really smarter or better than their lower-down colleagues, but are adept at backstabbing. May just be a feature of the group I was in, though.

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.
