Pros

there are some really intelligent people that you can work with and learn from. compensation is good.

Cons

management is pushing return to work despite closing many offices and not making exceptions for people who work with teams in completely different offices. i assume this is to conduct layoffs without having to pay severance. there is a competitive culture of blaming others for mistakes to get ahead. the "sabbatical program" is rarely used in reality. management will try their best to prevent you from using that benefit.

Pros

Good work-life balance especially during Covid, with exclusive Work from Home and then limited ask to go into the office. Had a great director who treated their team with humanity.

Cons

Finance managers and executives appear to be short-sighted when it comes to staffing. Significant layoffs. They’ll also try to start you at the middle or below the middle of the pay range posted online.
