Pros

Although everything written here can be different depending on the department, at least they are valid for the risk department. Flexibility: as long as you get your job done, it does not matter if you want to take half an hour or two hours for lunch or if you want to take a break in the middle of your day to go to the gym. If you need a day off for whatever reason you will have it. In general, there are not very strict rules, so you can ask for whatever you want to your manager. Of course, you will have to be flexible with the company as well (it is a two-way relationship).

Cons

Sometimes you have got to work very fast to get things done, and work overtime, which is not paid (and this is the flexibility from the employee to the employer).

Pros

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Cons

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
