Good place to gain experience in the corporate world. The benefits are great and it is a solid company to work for.

Pay isn't that great and hours can be very long. Opportunities for advancement are limited and there are too many obstacles preventing people for reaching the next level in their career.

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.
