Pros

Depending on the manager, starting time ranged from 9-9:30 and you left around 6~ during the summer. Lunch hours are flexible as well, take them any time during the day. You get an hour.

Cons

Hard to move up. Winter (busy season) can be really stressful and can burn anyone out. Expect to work 50-80 hours a week minimum from January to April. On the bright side, take-out and taxi after 10pm is all covered by the company.

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.
