Pros

Great benefits and time off. Beautiful building. Looks great on resume. Working platforms are pretty good.

Cons

Very little or small salary increases. Not much room for advancement, unless you are a man (preferably Japanese). No flexibility in work hours, penalized for being 30 seconds late. Very political work culture. Very hard to respect managers who are not stand up people both at work and in their personal lives. Micromanaging at its finest.

Pros

Benefits, time off- but all of this doesn't matter once you meet the boss you will work for. This woman is legit the devil. 5 people have left the department in 3 years. HR is well aware of her management style and doesn't care. She has gotten so many warnings and nothing has been done. This place is a great resume booster but it comes at the expense of your sanity and self respect.

Cons

Everything else- this role has been filled5 times in the last few years. Look at the manager in charge. She is the reason everyone is leaving.
