Pros

None I could think of

Cons

Most demotivating environment No Job security. People fear lay off every day Poor leadership. Senior leadership keeps changing strategies creating un stability in the workforce Highly political environment and the only qualification to raise in the cadre is to be highly political. As a result most senior leaders are the least empathetic and opportunistic. Career growth is zero Technology is outdated. . Zero career opportunities

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.
