Pros

Some of the best benefits out there. A fantastic 401K match and solid choices for benefits. The environment isn't terrible and they used to sponsor several moral boosting events.

Cons

The work is boring and mind numbing. It just repeats itself in cycles. You are either way to busy or literally doing nothing. Management doesn't seem to want to help employees advance. Most managers are great reviewers but terrible leaders. Work life balance is OK. Worst thing is probably the pay. There is a lot of turnover for a reason. When the market turns around and opportunities become available this company better look out and figure out a way to retain key employees.

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.
