Pros

Good benefits and thats about it

Cons

To many things to mention that are categorized as cons. Salary is so low, intern start at 15$ which is very good but once you are full time you start with the same amount which is disappointing. T move up is very hard. There is not rules that will make you move up. Its to much politics a lot of politics, horrible environment. There are ppl who have been for 2 year and become manager and there are ppl who have been for 5 years and they still associate level, the reason is the politics. There is nor rules or tests to be given in order to promote the most qualified ones, its so disappointing,

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.
