Pros

Work is an absolute no-brainer. Just show up and be an excel monkey. Very easy if you want to surf the web or kill time. If you are looking for a work environment that requires no effort then this is the place for you. Co-workers are dull and just as bored as you.

Cons

very boring. People have very little ambition. There is a lot of bureaucratic nonsense. Managers were very unhelpful and were extremely obvious when playing favorites. Work is very monotonous. While there may be upward mobility, it is to equally boring dead end jobs.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
