Pros

Bankers hours; low stress; a cube to call your own

Cons

-Travel back to 50’s style management styles -leave your aspirations of autonomy, mastery, and purpose at the security turnstile. -Clinging to the outdated org structure and mindset of “business” people and “tech” people. -Arrogant and pompous old school boys club-not a progressively minded company at all. -Good ol’ lifers club protect their own and only welcome in those who are willing to play their game their way. -Passive aggressive tactics towards anyone who brings a different perspective or tries to break the lifers out of their stale trenches. -A collection of the most polite, courteous jerks as they passively undermine your career goals. -Do as you are told-don’t challenge authority or the hierarchy of the org structure and you could have a job for life. . -If you have worked in a modern tech or product company, be prepared for severe culture shock and schedule your lobotomy today. You will no longer need the logic and reasoning portion of your mind.
