Pros

Great manager and team Good salary but no raise past 3 years

Cons

Upper management no idea who is doing what No real direction for everyday workers 4 Day in office after x number of years remote No authority to actually carry out your job duties. Work has almost no impact on the organization Cross team interaction is horrible, everyone stays in their own buckets No clear performance objectives or advancement path

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
