Pros

Good industry experience in a laid back setting. Opportunity to work hard with the right work-life balance that is hard to find in the financials services industry.

Cons

Depending on the role, one's position can often feel a bit removed from the bustle of the financial services industry, aka a finance backwater.

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.
