Pros

Opportunity to work from home (depending on which team you're on), decent benefits (health, vacation, 401k match, sick pay). Good to put on your resume as it is a well known corporation.

Cons

Below average pay, lack of technology, difficult to move up, poor management, high turnover rate, lots of favoritism, no job security (layoffs), raises were a joke, forced to work 50+ hours a week (depending on which team you're on).

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.
