Pros

Huge company, so you can change responsibilities within the company easily. Good amt of benefits ( vacation ) Good payer for first 10 years.

Cons

Lot of bureaucracy ... if you dont like paperwork & rules ... this is not the place. 401K match is down to 1.5% from March 2012. No Pension plan. Poor payer in the 10-15 yr experience category.

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.
