Pros

- Benefits were good not great - Coffee stations and the kitchen was impressively stocked - Respectful management

Cons

- You get 3.5 weeks off but work an extra 2.5 hours overtime every week which adds up to 3.5 weeks overtime per year. That is not mentioned in the interview process - The overtime is then factored into your base pay to make it look like you make more - Base pay is average, they lure you in with the benefits but they aren't that great. I don't know if most people haven't worked for fortune 500 companies but the benefits are similar to so many other decent companies around and some companies especially Scandinavian based companies have amazing benefits - A lot of people are burned out from doing the same tedious job for 8-10 years - No room for upward mobility - Stratified and completely elitist as all hell - Some indoctrination that is completely unnecessary, for example, meeting weekly with your boss to discuss the most tedious things ever. As well as discussing the culture of capital as if it's a religion and elevating senior executives of the company to an almost rock star admiration - totally weird - They try to sell you how lucky you are to be there, it's completely weird, if you're a great company, you don't have to sell it to me
