Pros

They offer a lot of training classes to learn about finance industry

Cons

When they want to lay people off they rotate people around basically switching people into different groups. So that they can save the people they like and get rid of others. Every year they lay people off and blame the economy or expenses. People hold onto information to seem valuable. You lose vacations days that barely get approved. All the managers push outsourcing onto you.

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.
