Pros

It can be fun to drive engineering prototypes.

Cons

Extremely high pressure environment, unrealistic deadlines and long hours (9-6:30 every weekday + an expectation to drive engineering cars on weekends and file bug reports) led to a complete burnout and mental breakdown for me. More than one engineer left my team every month on average.
