Pros

For those driven to learn, the company can still be a great starting point. A long history and capabilities in the four walls do still exist. Amenities and benefits are good, and if the case may be, exit packages are fair.

Cons

Although great expertise still resides within the walls, utilising it is a challenge (silos, the best staff are very busy with regulations, and there may be a back-log of queries e.g. IT.) Many years outsourcing duties can take a toll on the collective culture and belief in a long and fruitful career. Downward trend in stock price may make things worse. Get ready for a bumpy ride.

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.
