Pros

Great benefits + flex work setup available, located right at the center of the Financial district.

Cons

Management is bad, it starts at the management level. People who actually knows how the processes work leaves, if you drill down to the root cause, management denies career growth although they advertise this, it does not happen. If you take care of your employees really good, why would they leave?

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.
