Pros

Lax office environment Decent benefits (Overtime pay, 401k etc...) Easily accessible managers Decent out-of-college salary of $48,000 Accountability for your own work

Cons

Haphazard training Poor communication from supervisors Redundant work No pay raise in over a year which was stipulated at the start (understandably due to the market crisis) Can get stuck in the same position doing the same work for years Departments are isolated

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.
