Pros

nice business cards, paid training and licensing programs.

Cons

you are expected to pursue 200 of your closest friends and family members for business as soon as you finish your licensing, and if you are not aggressive enough with your mom, grandma, aunt, uncle, brother, friends, etc., then your manager will take over the meetings and try to make them purchase life insurance

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
