Pros

- Decent Benefits at the Entry Level - Well paying at the Entry Level - Ability to move jobs every 2-3 years - Flexible Schedule - Semi-remote schedules are being piloted in IT

Cons

- HR is not strong - Unrealistic deadlines (that keep getting smaller even though everything seems to falling apart) - Toxic Culture - No work life balance - Terrible approach for Promotions (I've never gotten a clear answer from anyone so my salary has been stagnant for 5 years. When I raised this to one of the higher ups I work with, it was implied that it was my fault even though I had been asking for years)
