Pros

Generous vacation, very flexible WFH arrangements, casual dress, decent health and 401k benefits, industry name recognition, internal mobility.

Cons

Poor bonuses, deferred cash/stock bonuses over 4 years if you're VP or above, little to no annual merit increases. Very large company causing lots of red tape and pockets of terrible culture, lots of lifers who've never worked anywhere else and have a warped sense of reality and importance. Not a meritocracy, everything is seniority based. Worst of all: poor poor culture of condescending attitudes towards one another. Backstabbing, throwing people under the bus, yelling, and swearing common in meetings and conf calls.

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.
