Pros

-Fast interview timeline -VPs and up seemed somewhat competent but sadness filled their eyes.

Cons

I backed out of this role due to their unprofessional and abhorrent on-boarding process. From the very beginning I had a bad feeling about this place and my research on the firm turned out to be true; They don't care about you and pay laughable wages. I can almost forget about that, capitalism and all, but what really rubbed me the wrong way was the failure of basic on-boarding procedures.. When should I show up? Dress code? Surprise 1 month of 10-12 hr shifts due to training with india team? No mention at all in the weeks and days leading up to my start date. Simple things that have been a breeze in past organizations showed me that this organization is either a dinosaur past its prime or is just inept.

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.
