Pros

Multiple locations; flexible work arrangements; capability to work at home; when it's going well, it's going very well. If you connect with the right people, you can be successful

Cons

What's a pro is also a con. Very political environment. One day you are in, the next day you could be out. There is zero training of managers when they are brought in. Little emphasis on ensuring employee satisifaction. Surveys sent to staff regarding employee engagement seem to be just for show. There's never any action taken. Pay increases and bonus are unpredictable.

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.
