Pros

Work from home flexibility is usually

Cons

Decent salary to start, but over time they won’t keep you in line with market or your responsibilities and they’ll work you to death. Lots of managers make less than people that report to them. Raises are very poor. You could make half of what your coworker does with similar responsibilities and they’ll just leave it that way, and it’s bound to happen if you stay for any length of time.

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

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.
