Pros

Great WLB, decent pay, great coworkers and culture.

Cons

Zero growth opportunities. I felt like my skills and experience went unnoticed, unused and undervalued. Any time I wanted to to take on an extra project for growth I was stifled, while people with lesser skills and knowledge were promoted. It’s more about who you know. The icing on the cake was when a reorg was done and more responsibilities were given that would have been part of a promotion, but now was just part of my current role.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
