Pros

Good benefits - vacation time, cheap healthcare premiums.

Cons

Incompetent co-workers, no accountability, you are an employee number, they don't care about the people who do the work but just about the work being done. The pay is a joke, you could start out making more at McDonald's. College education is not necessary, I've done more complicated work from things I've bought at IKEA.

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.
