      Pros

      Work from home flexibility is nice, but that is where the benefits end.

      Cons

      Everything is outsourced. On boarding is a nightmare, with different parts of IT outsourced to different companies, and they are the worst. Even HR is outsourced, and they fail to provide on-boarding documentation required by law. Business is doing soo poorly due to mismanagement, that compensation increases (raises/bonuses) are non-existent. No technical direction from management. Infrastructure (hardware/software) is soo old, you literally need to run a 4 year old web browser to use some applications. Desks are tiny, as to cut costs, they have crammed staff into a single floor. Flat org, so no opportunity for advancement.

      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.
