Pros

Working at SB, you know what you're in for each day. It's a very consistent place to work. Staff is generally happy--I woke up almost every day genuinely happy to start work. Most roles are flex/remote, which is great for people who have changes in life circumstances.

Cons

Zero opportunity for upward mobility. Most management has been promoted within. They aren't necessarily qualified, but SB rewards loyalty, so those in management stay. Great for them; not as great for bringing in fresh ideas or more qualified professionals.
