Pros

There are always great opportunities to learn more about professional development and new products within the company. It's a great place to start your career

Cons

Technology, No Work/Life Balance, Lack of Guidance 1. There are always technology issues that cause a bottleneck with work. It can take hours, if not a week to resolve a system issue that is preventing you from completing your job. This causes unnecessary tension between your manager and team members, because you cannot complete your work on time. 2. Depending on your team, expect to work at least 10-12 hours with no complaints. My manager and co-worker work 14-16 hours per day, so it was normalized. You are perceived as not working hard enough if you plan on working 40 hours/week. 3. Performing new functions is daunting because many of the procedures are out of date and missing key steps. At times, people are condescending when you ask questions, and expect you to be an expert on new things.

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.
