Pros

- Able to advance career if dedicated but must be willing to spend 12+ hour days - free beer/coffee - competitive benefits - great locations - mobility

Cons

- No work life balance. - No respect for personal commitments (scheduled after working hours/weekends..."work comes first") - shamed/judged for leaving "on time" - promotions considered as a tool to retain staff. Not a meritocracy. - Heavy workload/unreasonable expectations from management - not open to new ideas (employee suggestions openly mocked with cheeky/sarcastic comments) - no work from home policy (Competitors allow work from home in same industry) - atrocious employee morale

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
