Pros

Joke of a breakfast unless you live for bagels. Bad lunch options capped at $10 unless you love Chinese soup.

Cons

No career growth. No technical growth. Low comp. Incompetent conservative managers. Toxic, political environment. Blame culture, hypocritical. Long hours. Bad location. Low morale. No motivation. No sense of community - no one really talks to each other. Fake small talks. No interesting work. Micromanagement. No transparent promo path. Dreaded waking up each morning. Grateful it was not my first job to know this isn't normal working environment.
