Pros

The benefits are much better than most companies, fair pay. When looking for a new job, it had good name recognition. They have recently made a large push for flexible work arrangements.

Cons

The work tends to be boring and narrowly focused. There are many layers of management, and people tend to fall in love with the prestige of their job titles.

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

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
