Pros

Strong capabilities and a large scope of products this is a good place to get your feet wet in the industry. Pretty flat organizational structure always alot of opportunity for horizontal mobility.

Cons

The decision to become a "lifer" should be made quickly. People stay at this company for years. There is also a TON of red tape that prevents anything from being done at anything more than a grinding pace.

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.
