Pros

They sell it really well during the interview process to lead you to believe they are a progressive company that believes and supports employee growth, unfortunately reality will tell you otherwise.

Cons

It is a sad cyclical place to be at where unfortunately the power dynamics benefits those that suck up to keep their jobs. Immature and inexperienced leadership leads the way and if you voice your input it will be ignored and you might even be slandered for it. Really toxic and hostile environment, they do not preach or put into practice what they consult on.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
