Great employer, but hard work

Pros

Excellent compensation, the brand reputation is real, and the employer has excellent 401k

Cons

The hours are definitely more than what HR might tell you at the beginning, I think I spent perhaps closer to 90 hours on a week, but that might be because I am on the software side
