Pros

Big, well-established company, which probably looks good on a resume. Company seems to be doing OK in terms of weathering the current economy.

Cons

Lots of politics. Too many incompetent middle-managers. Little-to-no opportunities for lateral movement, or advancement, despite the effort that management puts into making it seem like job mobility is a reality.

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.
