Pros

There is a big emphasis placed on work life balance and the benefits, primarily vacation time, are good (excluding compensations).

Cons

Too much emphasis is placed on networking and politics. A lot of very poor leaders are given opportunities they do not deserve, and if you get stuck working under one of them you might as well just quit.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
