      Pros

      Friendly people, stable and steady pace of work, no pushy colleagues or managers. Salary is decent. Works in a research team.

      Cons

      Both pros and cons: slow, comfortable and stable firm, culture is very visible in the work process and attitude of the firm, focusing on being stable, protective of existing assets, overly conservative, hesitant and slow to accept new ideas, and scared to venture into the unknown. Huge proportion of the team only knows how to follow instructions, not sure which came first that or the conservative attitude of the company.

      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

      They offer resources for learning.

      Cons

      In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
