Pros

Almost zero politics, colleagues are nice and fun to be with. Good exposure for those who got this job straight upon graduation. Work-life balance is acceptable

Cons

Poor career advancement. Difficult learning environment as there is little work communication within the team / company. Also, senior employees are not equipped with sufficient knowledge. Its difficult to get an answer from them and they would usually advise trial-and-error, which often shows its a very bad approach.

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.
