Pros

Flexibility and competitive salary when they used to exist. Working environment was really nice in the back.

Cons

Company model changing from time to time, I face the period when everything was promising in the past got all swap up. There is no competitive salary nor flexibility any more at the moment. The pull out a model change every couple years when changing MD. And the model change seems to got worse not beneficial to the employees but the corporate only. Poor micromanaging skill, managers set up random rules and expect employees to follow them.

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
