Pros

The work is easy, they want you to do well and succeed, some of the people on the teams are great to hang out with

Cons

Could management really be any more passive aggressive? Expectations are often unclear, and some of the people are so incompetent it hurts. They promote tenure over merit. I have trained the senior associates on things they should clearly have known when I was 6 months in.

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.
