I don't think Spielberg is hard to work with because everyone does their best to kiss his butt and give him what he wants. Not that I'm saying thats bad, because clearly he is one of the few directors that deserves such status, but when you get a director as powerful as he theres usually no problems because no one is there to oppose him in the first place, and his films generally run smooth because he usually gets what he asks for. On the crew its very draining behind closed doors because everyone works twice as hard because no mistake can be made and one slip up and the production manager fires you, but as far as personal issues I've never heard of anything. Actors are usually the most unpredictable factor but its not like people keep quiet about tensions because a director is powerful, if theres yelling and screaming it usually comes out. I think Spielberg just knows how to get the job done.
