Pros

I had an amazing Manager and team.

Cons

This is not all the cons by far, but the important ones: - Commonly expected to work 70 hour work weeks - They cap the raise you get for internal promotions. 10% is a miracle, so don't take a lower level job to get your foot in the door, you will get hosed on pay - They didn't back fill my old position as per our agreement when I took my promotion. I was expected to do both roles without additional compensation - They do not care about the people that work there. You are truly like toilet paper, meant to be used and when empty, discarded and replaced - They allow retaliation firings to happen instead of protecting people that file sexual harassment claims (not me, several incidents though) - They often give the alphabets raises, but cut positions lower down - Senior leadership only cares about the financial overlords, not what is best for their customers or their employees
