Pros

There is quite a bit of stability, the benefits are great, a good reputation. If you are looking for somewhere to explore a field this is your place. If you're looking to plant a flag, you might want to sail a little further.

Cons

There is fairly little upward mobility under 4 years. The work can be repetitive at times (especially after you master whatever you're doing), and you don't get the investment training you would expect applying here unless you take alot of proactive measures. The pay is nominal as well.

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

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
