Pros

The company has great technology and benefits. The hours were long at times but I and others were rewarded for that. It's a good place to start and gain experience. There are avenues of growth and different areas of the company to get into to. Where I worked, the environment was inclusive and they cared

Cons

The pay is very low. I took a lower position at a competitor and the pay increase was huge. With the great technology and automated processes, the trade off is that employees can lag behind in their overall knowledge of their roles compared to other companies.

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.
