Pros

May be flexible work arrangements if you get to work for the right manager

Cons

Constant organizational change implementation of unnecessary technology. Calling helpdesk for a password reset seems like a mission impossible scenario. Constant micromanagement. Managers having FOMO if they find their employees talking to others outside the team.

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.
