Pros

decent health care and 401k

Cons

lower than average pay and long hours in most departments, poor work/life balance despite work from home and flex time programs, management generally does not know how to behave as professionals - often times rude, staff people by and large fall into same category, was never best place to work but people at least treated each other with respect

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

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
