Pros

Great learning experience. Builds strong work ethic. You get to work on really exciting products that are moving the world forward, and stock is growing because of the culture of hard work.

Cons

You will feel tons of pressure to get things done.

Work/life balance is not valued here as much as other places overall. However, your culture will highly depend on the team you're on.

Advice to Management

Have a more manageable work schedule for employees. Don't jam work down their throats. This will enable more frequent one-on-one meetings and happier workers.
