Pros

Flexible work arrangements. You can WFH or in the office as much as you'd like.

Cons

1) Expect to work long hours for low pay. Bonuses are low. There's employees that have been here years with no raises. 2) Expect management to gaslight you by giving you a very heavy workload that requires overtime, then berate you for working overtime. 3) Management loves to routinely screw up in major ways then put all the blame on their subordinates. 4) Technology is incredibly outdated. We use software that looks like it was built in the 90's then never updated since. 5) Little to no opportunities for career growth. 6) Turnover is incredibly high for these reasons, and the employees left are improperly trained and/or not well-fitted for the job.

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.
