Pros

Lots of opportunities around the Boston area

Cons

The organization is so large, employees may feel like their lost. The computer infrastructure for employees was fairly old when I was working there, although it may be better now. This led to some crashes every now and then. My biggest gripe was with the User ID/Password access which took weeks to get after my employment. At one point in time there were 3 employees using the same access rights.

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.
