Pros

Almost zero politics, colleagues are nice and fun to be with. Good exposure for those who got this job straight upon graduation. Work-life balance is acceptable

Cons

Poor career advancement. Difficult learning environment as there is little work communication within the team / company. Also, senior employees are not equipped with sufficient knowledge. Its difficult to get an answer from them and they would usually advise trial-and-error, which often shows its a very bad approach.

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

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.
