Pros

Good benefits, more vacation days than industry Flexibility, work life balance, ability to work from home Plenty of leisure, good hours

Cons

Work is pretty mundane and not challenging, big company, too many people competing for promotions, things boil down to politics and sucking up mangers more than performance. While the pay is good enough for the amount of work, it is less compared to industry, not a place for ambitious types.

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.
