Is it just me that would prefer to work with Senior Engineers rather than mid level engineers?

Some mid level engineers are just pain in the ass. This one guy insist on getting perfection in all of the requirements. The problem is that if you work with software/lib for so long, you realize that most if not all software are buggy or have limitations.You can't expect everything to be perfect. Sometimes something just works/don't work and nobody knows why. Need lots of shortcuts/hacks just to make it work. I would say that 80% completion is good enough, especially since we're running out of time and manpower.

I noticed that Senior Engineers tend to be less strict. If it works then it's good enough, if we found some bugs later then we'll fix it. I like this practicality so we can tackle more important issues at hand.

I hope that I don't have to work in the same project with this guy again.

    It’s good to have that guy, keeps your hacks in check. Just being a senior doesn’t give you right to build shitty software.

    I would tend to agree. Senior (I count myself into that category) engineers are really interested in building teams and improving processes (both kinds) and teaching. I find it much rewarding! Keep looking for that senior dev that gives you positive energy!
