Pros

- Company culture - Volunteer and extracurricular activities - Early career growth for those new to the industry looking to develop a specialty and/or make lateral movements to specialize in other areas of the industry

Cons

1. Once you've specialized in a skill, if you plan to continue growing your career in a production/skill based capacity, career growth is very limited in terms of continuing to go higher in the company's employment organization chart as a SME (subject matter expert) . However, if you are willing to transition from a production/skill based role to a people management based role, there may be opportunity to continue growing your career and going higher in the company's employment organization chart in that capacity while staying in your department that practices _____ area of the industry. 2. Changed their sentiment and stance on offering employees the ability to continue working remotely, although employees made accommodations to work remotely for the employer when the pandemic first began. Seemingly this change in their sentiment and stance on remote work was due to the decisions made in maintaining corporate real-estate for certain locations.
