Pros
So much room to learn and develop if you want to
Cons
Long brutal hours are reserved for the few teams that clients actually like and bring in revenue, yet are not a priority for resource investment. Sometimes the hours border on inhumane (we are not saving lives) but you are told to suck it up since the unwritten rule is that burnout is your own problem, not a systemic failure of management’s. The DEI committee seems more interested in debating the appropriateness of rainbow lanyards than in establishing policies to actually prevent bias, salary discrepancies, or discrimination Deciding to become a parent involves risk; you might get fired before your parental leave ends or you might be promoted upon your return. Without trying, you'll never know! And heaven forbid you/your partner have a miscarriage and need to take a day off, you'll be pressured to return immediately or face criticism HR frequently discusses confidential details with others
