Pros

The more you give the more you get! Work hard, request additional responsibilities and ask questions and you can move ahead quick! There are plenty of managers who are willing to help and need qualified staff. There are so many different departments that if you are motivated you could find your ideal job. Will it be handed to you - No but you can work for it. The are numerous flex time opportunities where employees are able to work from home, work flex time or alternative/flexible schedules.

Cons

Sometimes the entry level positions are not glamorous so new staff move on instead of sticking it out and learning the ins and outs. Instead they sit at their desk, do what they are told and nothing extra. Time and money is spent training these people then they move on.

Pros

Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

Cons

Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
