Pros

Playing a part in making history, and the stock. Learn from the smartest people in the industry.

Cons

You will be working almost nonstop and lose your ability to become a well-rounded person. Engineering management is often delusional and does not care about employee well-being, only results. Management is often unable to mentor newer engineers effectively, leading to new engineers performing poorly.

Advice to Management

Stop being so obsessed with the company that you work for.
