Pros

Great starter job that does reward top performers (contrary to a lot of the other posts). Big name company that looks great on your resume. Will gain lots of industry knowledge.

Cons

90% percent of the promotions go to the top 10% of the employees. If you can't handle working long hours, dont work here. I typically average 53-60 hours a week, and have been ever since working at a staff level.

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.
