Pros

Great opportunity to develop skills and plenty of opportunities for growth. The work experiences gained and the company will look good on resume for future opportunities.

Cons

Heavy workload, most people get burned out within the first year. Lack of pay adjustment based on market forces - not unheard for new employees to come in at lower title and making more than their managers.

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
