Pros

There is room to grow through internal movement, but you have to be aggressive about it. You need to move around business areas and not within team to really become valuable and learn more skills otherwise it will be difficult to market yourself to other companies.

Cons

Terrible pay increases when you move internally. You have to leave after 3-5 years to really move ahead and get comprable market pay.

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.
