Pros

I started in a rotational/development program so the job experience was pretty good. When you leave the program, they won't give you a raise for any of the skills and experience you worked hard to develop. - They give you flexible work arrangements.

Cons

-Anything that isn't nailed down to the floor will probably be shipped over to India or Poland at some point. -You are hired at market rate and then they will give you every excuse in the book about how times are so tough to justify giving little to no increases in compensation. If you want a raise you need to apply outside the company. -Incredibly high employee turnover. About 25% of the company turns over every year (leaves for greener pastures). -One year they cut my cash bonus to almost nothing and tried to justify it by giving everyone a week of vacation instead. Thanks, but I need the cash to travel.

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.
