Pros

Job security (but this is changing) Financial stability Addressing gender and ethnic percentages Work and personal life balance (but this really depends on your manager, and is not a company wide mandate).

Cons

A very autocratic management style Has a mentality of the ends justifies the means Retirement benefits are poor (but should this be a concern anymore?) No bonuses unless you are in management (what does this say about valuing all of your personnel) A lot of unwritten rules, and clicky

Pros

You have the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across different locations and interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds. The role also allows you to build strong, genuine relationships with colleagues working alongside you day to day.

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of transparency within the organization. Communication from senior team members can be inconsistent, and at times feels misaligned with their actions. Recognition and positive feedback are limited, particularly outside of established internal circles. The company’s technology and processes can be outdated and overly complex, which can hinder efficiency. Additionally, the organizational structure is quite hierarchical, and there appears to be limited initiative from leadership to drive meaningful change. The role often extends beyond typical analyst responsibilities, requiring significant emotional labor in addition to technical work.
