Steve is a gifted marketeer, in knowing what people will buy, and when to bring new ideas to market.
Pros: A chance to say you work for a "cool" company, that outsiders admire for the most part. There's also a chance to be involved in a great innovative energy that you might not get elsewhere. Sort of a halo effect from the creativity that occurs all over, not just in engineering.
At the end of the day, its nice to be recognized for being part of the effort. All in all, its a good community to be involved with.
Cons: The caste system between engineers and all who are not. Includes pay, smugness, attitude. People who aren't engineers are sometimes regarded as less intellectual, even though the work might be very creative, very important, and very mind intensive.
You have use the F-word, "flexible", more times than one cares to count.
