Pros

- Work/Life balance is very good in comparison to other places - Constant changes in the regulatory framework making the job interesting. - Various employees are there in the long term (over 10 years).

Cons

- Very difficult to move up the hierarhy. The award process is not always clear and can be unfair. Some people waited 8-9 years to obtain their first promotion. In other places, this is automatic depending on seniority. - Salary can be better

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

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
