Pros

Reasonably low stress job most of the time. Good Company to get into right out of college for experience.

Cons

Downsize certain groups so much that vacation coverage was very difficult. Was refused internal training courses that I had already signed up for because others wanted vacation. 3-4 levels of management that all trickle down (True Office Space type stuff.) Pay is quite low comparatively to similar jobs at other companies.

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.
