Pros

They offer tuition assistance, so you can get a better degree and find a better company to work for.

Cons

Management treats you like you're stupid for asking questions or making mistakes, but they are unavailable and/or deny help when you request it. The pay is below industry average, yet the workload above. I've heard auditors outside the company refer to it as a "sweat shop", so it's obviously not just an issue of disgruntled employees. Turnover is incredibly high and existing employees are left doing the work of two or even three people on a regular basis.

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.
