Pros

Overall, the company is good even though it is a sunset industry. The company offers good compensation, bonus and ok 410k. I have met really friendly and talented colleagues.

Cons

But the sr director of the group is horrible. -micromanagement, monitor employees' lunch time, how many times restroom they use during the day, how many breaks they take and how long each break is, even whether they eat company's Friday complimentary donuts or not. -the groupies have to send a daily update email before they leave mentioning what they have done through the day, so she/he can monitor what time they left work. You will be reviewed with bad performance if you leave work earlier than 7pm. In the meantime, she/he leaves around 5pm or even earlier despite the 3 hours lunch break she/he usually takes. -bad mouthing, she/he constantly bad mouth about the groupies and their family members, employees in other groups, sometimes even with the F & B words. -playing games on iPad Pro and iPhones during work time; texting during meetings and presentations. - talking about politics at work place. Sometime you are forced to be involved in the conversation. - joking about the employees in the group having affairs. -she/he constantly claims that she/he is open for discussion. But most of time, she/he takes it personally and thinks you are demeaning her/him if you are holding a different opinions. Almost all employees in this group are international, who worries about their visa status all the time that they might lose the job. So most employees leave after 1~2 years.

Pros

High bonus, although less than before; Company gym available; Less likely to work on weekends; Not much challenge and pressure from the work itself.

Cons

Sunset industry, Long work hours, Tedious, meaningless, repeating work, Against creativity, No chance of growth and career advancement, You need to have a tough heart and to be smart enough to flatter some bad-tempered, mean, picky, and impatient manager.
