Lots of office politics and frequent reorganizations; size of the organization means change is slow; work sometimes seems pointless when projects are scrapped; incentive comp for VP and above is deferred over 4 years

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.
