Pros

A lot of freedom to learn. Good learning platform for free (Skillsoft, getabstract, Orelly). Paid curses + certifications. Good internal promotion system. You will not be blamed for making mistakes. It will be considered learning Poor / no feedback from high management. The positive side is you will be able to work with almost no interferences High work flexibility like remote working is allowed and rarely denied Good diversity policy: zero tolerance to harassment or discrimination for race, culture, etc..

Cons

Poor / no feedback from high management. The negative side is you will not receive the right support from your higher manager at the right time. Sometimes you will be asked for doing magic. Poor effort - reward culture. Most hard / commited workers will not feel rewarded. If this is your culture find another place. Branding, smiling and dancing when your manager asks for it is more important than the actual result of your work. Higher managers live far away from reality of day to day. Most of the time they are overwhelmed with unproductive tasks such as unnecesary meetings or complex old internal procedures. * High commitment to investors * Pay does not grow proportional to promotions! Very high workload

Pros

Remote work, vacation, coworkers are usually pretty chill, 3 months on the bench to look for a new job before you're laid off

Cons

10-11K planned to be laid off this year and they aren't going after the worst performers, they're just cutting out whatever section looks good in excel. Poor profitability. Constant reorgs. Say they're a flat organization but keep getting more and more vertical. the last manager I got transferred to took months to have a meeting with my group and when he did, it was only to let us know we were getting cut, never-mind that we had a presentation on how to save a couple million on a type of software license that the company had to have to do business. They still use a stacked ranking for employee review, so if your whole team had an outstanding year and surpassed every goal, only 5-10% will be graded as outstanding and 10-15% will get expects more. Even when I got into that 5-10% exceeds, the raise for that year was still only 2%. One year I got a promotion from band 4 to 5, still only a 2% raise. Your pay will be as flat as a plains state. After 15+ years in this company, it feels like leaving an abusive relationship. Yes, it's not all bad, but you have to recognize that it still wasn't good for you.
