Pros

I started this job right out of grad school and really my first "real" job were I felt it was gaining some ground.

Cons

typical corporate politicking, must really advocate for yourself if you are going to climb at all. it's too difficult to get any advancement without there being a total game of who kissed up more being played.

The company has great culture. We get a ton of holidays off. The PTO is unlimited.

Cons

Layoffs are too common. I survived 4 rounds before I was impacted last month.
