Pros

good benefit, wlb if you don't care promotion or be put into the low rank

Cons

This review maybe only apply to a specific sub LOB, but if you are in this sub LOB, you know what I am talking about They hire you as machine learning engineer , you then found there is nothing in your daily work has anything to do with machine learning, and half of your time is working on governace, OPL, your skillsets or domain knowledge on machine learning will diminish due to lack of use The managers who have machine learning tiles know nothing about machine learning. they got this title when the organization shift it's focus on machine learning, and need the headcount to show the stackholder that C1 is AI driven . they never understood nor appreciation your insight or skillsets, on the contrary, some managers exhibit hostility due to feeling threatened by they hired machine learning engineers' better insight on the project as a whole Stay away if you are machine learning engineer

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!
