Pros

- Some days are WFH - Name looks great on a resume - Sometimes there are team lunches

Cons

- Everyone's miserable, especially when they have to work well into the evening - It's so bad no one is even trying to pretend that they wanted to show up to work - Work/Life balance is pretty bad; you're never truly off the clock - Office politics and corporate culture very prevalent - High turnover - Cubicles designed with no privacy - Infrastructure pretty outdated; management can be resistant to change

Pros

Competitive compensation, great bonus and benefits, upward mobility, and parking fee reimbursements always a plus. Coworkers are young, intelligent, and ambitious so you learn a lot from them. Culture is great but depends on your team.

Cons

Required to work every 4th of July and new years eve (and new years day). Long hours during quarter close. The company has a no raise policy so unless you get a promotion you're stuck with the same salary for years. It's important you get placed within a good team (turnover rate is much higher within certain teams).
