Pros

Flexibility to work from home for more senior employees, very smart & ambitious people to work with, good office amenities, good employer name to have on resume, exposure to lots of different types of work, good pay and benefits

Cons

Can be a sink or swim environment, highly competitive which is sometimes unhealthy, filled with strong type As who sometimes come across as extremely aggressive if you're not a strong type A, not as much leadership and guidance, company seems to always be changing senior management and goals which can make you feel lost and like a tiny fish in the sea

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
