Pros

Employees here are very laid back and easy to talk to! Coming into work doesn't actually feel like "work", which is every person's dream! Great culture here. They promote volunteering & building your network. They hold classes where you can learn more about finance/accounting as well as how to develop yourself in your career Supportive executive management Depending which team you are placed under, promotions can happen yearly or even longer.

Cons

Although I really enjoy doing what I do here, the salary is the one thing that is making me want leave. Tasks can get repetitive.

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.
