Great WLB and Culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

-WLB is great, especially considering Finance -Culture isn't like a 'finance' or toxic environment, at least on west coast -Coworkers are brilliant and motivate you to work/improve -Strong internal mobility if you are a good performer

Cons

-Lots of politics and steep hierarchy. Can be tough to move up -Pay, for junior people, is below market. High attrition for junior people -Not a lot of benefits that you see with tech - wellness benefits, cool offices, RSUs, etc. -Upside in pay and outcomes, like any corporation, is capped
