Pros

If you’re the type that like to coast by and do low value work; you came to the right place. You can even be in a Vice President role if you can survive the annual layoffs. I know one person that only had a high school diploma and lack any intelligence, but she made it happen after working 18+ years. The opportunities are there if you’re a yes-man or yes-woman and can master the office politics.

Cons

If you’re the proactive type that looking to do high value work; you will be extremely disappointed. This is not the place to use logic reasoning. Don’t even expect the person above you to take your input or concerns. Their job is to remind you that they have more power than you. They care more about their egos than having the team work effectively.

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.
