Pros

- Laid back atmosphere - Good mix of employees - Good work/life balance, flexible scheduling - Facilities are great

Cons

- They provide absolutely 0 incentive for talented individuals to stay on-board - Work is about as mundane as it can possibly get - Slowly devaluing their employees (lowering hiring requirements, decreasing salaries, making tasks as repetitive as possible) - 90% of management is clueless, and the other 10% are powerless

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.
