Pros

If you could stand the work, you will get promoted.

Cons

Dumb ppl got promoted as long as they stayed in the company for many years. The system was outdated and most of time was fixed the mess created in the financial report created by the dumb system. If you like finding numbers within thousands of transactions, you deserve the job.

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.
