Pros

I stayed far longer than I expected because I liked the people around me at my level. Good benefits: 4 weeks vacation, decent health care (although only high deductible plans offered now). Grateful to have been hired directly after college.

Cons

Delusional ideas about the future, actively trying to out-source their entire staff (which is an industry wide trend), highly compartmentalized to the point where no two teams know what each other are doing (clients complained they had to call 4 different teams instead of just having a single contact)

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
