Pros

Work load so light i read an entire book within 3 days Plenty of time to read articles and self educate 20 + days of vacation

Cons

Culture: Everyone including management "VP's" seem to hate their lives and hate their jobs more Advancement: Very little room for internal mobility - No intellectual development This job literally gave me anxiety, something I never had before working here. And no, it's not because the job was stressful (it wasn't) it was because everyday I realized I was wasting my life away while being dramatically underpaid. - nothing about this job will make you happy don't work here. Wait for another opportunity even if you're right out of school Trust me

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.
