Pros

Looks good on the resume, the economy sucks - that's about it.

Cons

The pay is laughable compared to similar jobs in the industry. When promotions are given you're expected to work long hours without much appreciation for it. If you are looking to advance your career this is not the field to be doing it. Absolute arm pit of the industry.

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.
