      Pros

      Pay is great. Benefits are great. People are very nice.

      Cons

      Big company mentality. HR will avoid giving raises or promotions at all costs. They prefer to hire externally than promote internally. Slowly bringing everyone back into the office as often as possible despite everyone proving they work well from home and have a better work life balance when working from home. They care more about image than the happiness of their employees. They have done multiple rounds of layoffs in corporate and leaving the rest to pick up the workload.

      Pros

      Pays decently well for first job out of college. My manager and team are very reasonable with expectations placed on new hires. Working after office hours (past 4:30pm) is extremely rare and only expected in emergencies.

      Cons

      Very slow and/or limited job growth potential. Promotions into middle management are almost purely based on reputation with middle managers who are largely people with previous field experience. This is very disadvantageous to direct-from-college hires like myself and even my current manager.
