Pros
Good company culture. Flexible with hybrid / remote work. Interesting, and at times, game-changing projects. If performance is strong they do reward you with increased compensation, bonuses, career growth opportunities. Fast-paced, sometimes challenging work environment with opportunities to work with new people from different offices. Tight knit teams with strong sense of trust, open communication, and reliability.
Cons
Unpredictable industry with ups and downs parallel to current economic conditions. In good times expect to see bonuses, raises, new hiring. In tough times there may be layoffs, reduced pay, shorter hours. Some offices are a bit too COVID-cautious, and I wish they would eliminate the mask mandates, health check-ins, and tracking - all of which feels incongruent with the rest of society at large, and makes coming into the office at times a hassle for employees and clients alike.
